chainguard
Cyclist's pants protector
A chainguard is a protective cover over a bicycle chain, preventing clothing from catching in the mechanism and keeping grease off the rider's pants.
Common on commuter and city bikes, less so on racing or mountain bikes where weight and maintenance access matter more: I snagged my cuff before I installed a chainguard.
