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.
a silent bicycle is a source of pride and serenity

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. :)

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

I stop and pull out any leaf. My brain doesn't like anything rubbing that
shouldn't be rubbing.

I let it roll while hitting the brakes and pretending to stop in the hope
that the leaf will want to survive and leave me alone. after a short
period of time I stop and remove/destroy/burn/rip/tear/hurt the offending
leaf in an effort to set an example for other leafs that would think
I just kick it into reverse, that usually flushes 'em out.

Depends on the ride and how I feel. But usually after a couple of minutes,
will stop and pull the offender from the fender stays. On Monday had a
stick kick up and had to quickly stop to prevent any damage.
In general, the noise doesn't bother. Sort of drowns out the voicesG.
