Hah. Yeah, those pants. Electric salmon or something. Thanks for the shield suggestions. Early planning included the idea for chloroplast shields zip tied to bike and rack struts, but nicer weather prevailed. I've got some old cannondale panniers I can add behind the pegs. I had her try to put her foot in the spokes (without the wheel moving, of course) and the various struts and her leg length do a good job of preventing that (at least in theory). The accident reports remind us that weird stuff does still happen and I should make more of an effort to protect from the worst.
Consensus seems to be that behind peg is the area to shield? I see Edwin says between struts. The panniers would handle both rear of rack struts and between but not in front. Edwin's lacing idea sounds really effective too. Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. I'll follow up with another picture once I mount the panniers. --l. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
