Like I said, this is due to my penniless nature. A kind forumite has offered me a deal on some second hand ones, but even then cost+unsure it would fit has put me off.

I guess a number of forum trike riders will (like me) be able to choose between trike or bike and possibly just won't head out on the trike in bad weather.
If I had a baby elephant, I would put it on a recumbent trike so that it would become invisible.

Mudguard user here to, they were plastic one at first and rattled on rough roads and later one cracked, so I replaced them with steel ones, solid as a rock now

Out on the lovely bank holiday, no front mudguards. Not too bad, didn’t get much spray from the rain that didn’t get forecast, but very definitely fell. :lol:
