Test: Planet Bike stuff
Been testing out the Planet Bike Flipper, a seat post mounted fender, for a couple months this winter. In a strange occurrence, I gave the Planet Bike Blinky 7 a run for it's money in the wet.
You can see how the light was mounted on one of the rack braze-ons on the seat stay... which placed it in a prime location for all the spill from the fender. ...and the light never stopped working, ever... for months. I can say this light is one of the most durable products I have ever used.
Now back to the fender...
With two knuckles to pivot on, the mount gives you everything you need to place it over the tire to keep all the muck and such off. It has a quick release for the seat post that is adjustable, but it wraps around and clamps on allowing it to move if bumped. You can tell too, as you go from dry to wet pretty quickly. Once I added a small piece of inner tube between the clamp and post for added friction, no big deal and issue solved.
So how did the fender work? The tool roll under the saddle stayed dry in snow, rain, downpour, and drizzle. When I took the pic, I had just finished an hour or so in driving rain with zero issues. That is what you want, to put it on and not have to worry about it.
If you are looking for a clip on fender to keep your ass dry, or your bike does not have braze-ons, the Flipper is perfect. ...and it's only $20.

*IMPORTANT* Mark your calendars - Warner Park Master Plan Meetings
From Carolyn Heichel - SORBA Mid TN
These are the meetings we have been waiting for….Warner Parks will be holding public meetings to determine the use of the new Warner Parks land acquisition (on the other side of Hwy 100). It has been a dream of many to have mountain bike trails in Warner Parks (myself included). This is our opportunity to have our voices heard. It has been documented and understood by the Metro Planning Committee that mountain biking is an underserved community in Nashville. Let’s show up in numbers to drive this point home. If you ride a mountain bike, know someone who rides a mountain bike, or would like to ride a mountain bike, PLEASE come out to these meetings and show your support!
I will send follow-up reminders a week in advance of each meeting, but please set this time aside on your calendar and get the word out to EVERYONE!!!
The Master Plan meeting dates are held at the Warner Park Nature Center (7311 Hwy 100 Nashville, TN 37221) at 6:30pm and the dates are:
Thursday, January 27th
Tuesday, March 22nd
Thursday, May 5th
Hope to see you there!!!!!
