Look, there’s nothing we haven’t already covered in the new Ass Savers “Bits n’ Peaces” collection created with playful British illustrator Jody Barton. But these colorful little items brightened my rainy day when I spotted them, and they are pretty much all functional products that I actually use on many of my bikes. Plus, one of the greatest things about Ass Savers’ simple fenders – from the OG Ass Saver, to their Mullet, to the most recent Win Wing – is that these affordable accessories are an easy way to add a splash of color or originality with something practical for your bike…
Ass Savers Bits n’ Peaces artists series fenders & more!
“Outside of its more competitive corners, cycling is an inherently relaxing activity—the repetitive, circular motion a meandering meditation, a journey towards inner peace.“
Simple Swedish fender maker Ass Savers describes their “Bits n’ Peaces” collaboration with Copenhagen-based artist Jody Barton as a project to celebrate cycling’s lighter side. And maybe just spread a little bit of peace and love with some light and colorful art.
“What’s finer than a snack among the pines or a swim stop in a glassy lake? I like the way an empty road can work itself into a full mind. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of peace. In fact, we could all do with quite a bit more. Any way you like to take it—take this as a peace sign and hopefully find some peace yourself as you pedal on your way.”

Ass Savers Bits n’ Peaces – Pricing, options & links to our previous reviews
This special Bits n’ Peaces artist collection includes the following:
- a 27€ Win Wing 2 strap-on gravel bike fender, like I reviewed last autumn, and put on every gravel bike I ride.
- a 16€ Speed Mullet toe-saving fender that straps around your bike’s downtube, which I reviewed 6 years ago.
- a 13€ Mudder Mini tiny gravel bike fork fender that I reviewed with that Mullet (and is on all of my own gravel bikes today.)
- an 11€ classic Ass Saver Regular for when you just want to clip a better-than-nothing fender to your saddle rails
- a 24€ soul searchers cotton cycling cap
- a 15€ 500ml transcendentalist Tacx Shiva water bottle
- a 15€ cotton musette for “earthly belongings”
There’s also apparently a colorful poster, a “zine”, a “peace-spreading” reflector, plus plenty of stickers & decorative tape to “help spread the message of inner peace”. We’re not sure how you get the rest of that, but presumably, it will just come when you order any of these functional goodies directly from Ass Savers online.
