chain guard
Cyclist's leg shield
A chain guard is a protective cover over a bicycle chain, preventing clothing, shoelaces, or fingers from getting caught in the moving chain and sprockets.
Common on commuter and children's bikes, less so on racing or mountain bikes where weight and maintenance access matter more.
I snagged my pant leg before I installed a chain guard.
