Dresses, robes, etc. Also bikes give rooster tails really bad, which is no-bueno...

Ladies' bikes and underbone frames give plenty of room for long coats or dresses. They're very common for commuter bikes.

Similarly, fenders are standard equipment, you almost have to go out of your way to find a bike without them.

Oh, man, I wish that were true. My last bike I couldn't even get an aftermarket mudguard, because the frame didn't have the right mounting points.

There's a really big difference between the US and Europe that I've seen in terms of bikes. It seems that in the US, only enthusiasts buy bikes. In most countries in Western Europe however, it is much more egalitarian. City bikes for example have to be sold with lights and two brakes, front and back. You almost have to go out of your way to buy a bike without the necessary accoutrements for city riding, be it lights, brakes, fenders or even a luggage carrier.

Maybe they're not on your local market, but I've seen fenders that attach to the seat post and directly to the front forks.

Lots of people have similar frames and want fenders, that options have popped up :-)
