ABSTRACT:
An arm is pivotally secured to a clamp mounted on a bicycle frame; the arm extends to adjacent the outer periphery of an uncovered wheel. A flat shield of flexible plastic material is molded onto the end of the arm and extends over the wheel. The shield is provided with a cutout therein conforming to the cross-sectional perimeter of the uncovered wheel. A plurality of flexible fingers are molded integrally in the shield and extend into the cutout so that the flexible fingers ride upon the periphery of the wheel as it passes through the cutout in the shield. The arm is pivotal between a guard position, wherein water, dirt and debris thrown by the wheel are deflected from a cyclist operating the bicycle, and a storage position wherein it remains unobtrusive and out of the way so that it does not interfere with the operation of the bicycle. A reflector is molded into one side of the shield to reflect light striking the shield when it is in the storage position.
