Kevin, I haven't found fenders to be very effective. My rear basket keeps dirt and water from flying up on my back, and the front tire has a little bit of leakage. But I have slip-on waterproof pants for when it's raining/snowy or wet outside because only the bottom of my pants tend to get wet. My coat never gets dirty, but I keep the seat pretty high which probably helps.

I should put on a chain case however to prevent the chain/gears from getting rusty. But it helps that I can store my bike indoors both at home and at work, so I don't end up leaving it locked up outside all day.

As for hiring an accountant, I will check with HR! ;) It would be great to have another vocal cycling advocate at our office (I have seen a lot of comments from you on various cycling blogs in Netherlands, Copenhagen, Toronto and Australia).

Cheers!

I'm jealous. I want a workplace like that!

Please let me know if your employer is interested in hiring an accountant.

However, I was rather surprised at the bicycle. No fenders, no chaincase, coatguard, etc. How do you avoid arriving at work covered in filth?

Kam, the outtakes will be released on DVD in the near future. Footage includes me falling off my bike, slamming into people's desks, and pulling wheelies along the west side straightaway. That stuff isn't free ;)

Nice work Jim. When can we see the out-takes? ;)
