The Plant Bike Freddy Fenders, O2 cycling series rain jacket, small Nashbar Fly bag, Nashbar Handlebar bag, new rear light, and bottle cage showed up Tuesday.

The rain coat seems to be a little on the cheap side, but it was a return from nashbar so it was only about $20 bucks . I already wore it this week on Wednesday, there was a little rain when I rode in to work. It seemed to work fine, but I'll need to be careful to not rip it.

The Nashbar handlebar bag was 72% off, but I'm going to have to either rig up something to keep it up or return it. I'm wondering if the Arkel small bar bag is too expensive of a Father's day gift to ask for...While I thinking about it, the utility basket looks pretty good too, once I get the rack moved to the Quest, no way is that going on the Trek.

The small fly bar works good for holding my park multitool and a spare tube. There's not a lot of room leftover. I should be able to put on some tire levelers in it. It is pretty easy to attach to the seat and there is a loop to hang my Nashbar Brillant Taillight.

I haven't been able to put the fenders on the Quest yet. And the rack and panniers are still on the Trek until I figure out the handlebar bag situation.

The riding has been good. But the roads can get quite a bit of debris on them, I'm wondering about the kevlar tires to help reduce the chances of puncture flats.
