They get scooped up by the front mudflap. Usually I can just nudge the flap with my toes while riding and they'll fall out. That said, I took the mudflap off for yesterday's ride. I was sick of feeling like Mr. Plow when I went through leaves. The mudflap comes on and off in about a minute.

I stop and take them out. They've become such a common occurrence, that one of my friends points to the ground and says Cecily! LEAF! as a way of yanking my chain. :) On Thursday, November 14, 2013 3:58:38 PM UTC-8, Michael wrote: Fun question I have wondered what you Riv-peeps do: Do you allow leaf music to go on and on, or do you stop and remove them?

Re: [RBW] Re: POLL: Leaf Music on your Longboard-ed Rivendell?
I tried removing them with my foot with hilarious consequences. I was so focused on removing the offending foliage, that I just about rode headlong into a prickly bush. I managed to avoid impact by inches. Because I ride slower than most, all my friends heard was a strangled scream followed by gales of laughter at my own ineptitude. :D On Friday, November 15, 2013 4:20:06 AM UTC-8, Tim Gavin wrote: They get scooped up by the front mudflap.
