About Planet Bike
In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.

Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.

Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

Customer Reviews

Wish it was cheaper
The fenders feel rather cheap and did not go on very straight without lots of adjustments, but it did come with everything you need to install onto your bike. I put mine on my Dawes Lightning 1000, which had enough clearance for the fenders. The rear fender attachment that hangs on the brake screw makes it difficult to tighten the caliper brake in place and the brake goes out of adjustment easily with a slight push so i have to be mindful not to hit the rear brake. Otherwise its a fine fender and does its job. I hear lots of clacks against the fender on the road rather than little pebbles hitting my face or legs.

Planet Bike Fenders
These fenders are a great addition to a commuter bike. They are light, go on very easily, with good installation instructions and serve their purpose very well. I've ridden in light and heavy rain and they do just what they are expected to do. I'd recommend them to anyone that rides a commuter, or touring bike.

Count to Ten
Nice fenders.Just a little finicky when it came to attaching. I am not the most mechanically inclined individual, so I had to take a few deep breaths and count to 10. Eventually I was able to finish the project and they look good and are affective. Finally remember to check the nuts on occasion, they might work themselves loose.
