Fenders&seat for a Schwinn Mirada

I recently bought a Schwinn Mirada 26" Women's bike.

The most perplexing thing about this bike is that it came without fenders, and apparently Schwinn doesn't make fenders as add ons??? I'm not going to be a fair weather rider, I'm going to ride all winter no matter what the weather is. So I know I need fenders, leaning to a full coverage style, the less mud spray I drag into the classroom the better. Any recommendations for which fenders would fit nicely? Or a possible retailer that might stock some? Bikes color scheme is teal/aqua and silver.

I also know I'm going to need to upgrade the seat it came with, as I'll do most of my riding seated(live in a fairly flat area and most riding will be on campus where speed isn't allowed). Any suggestions for a seat that is comfy and holds up well?

    If your bike has wheel mounts for fenders, the Planet Bike MTB ones would fit on a 26" wheel and are pretty standard. (I run them on my 26" winter beater bike). Otherwise, snap-on ones like these are a good option.

    As far as seats go, the best thing you can do is test some out at your local bike shop to find one that fits *you* well. Everyone is different.

    Enjoy your new bike! :)
