What is a skirt guard?
Also known as a dress guard, coat guard, or skirt/coat/dress protector, a skirt guard is a bicycle accessory that attaches to the back wheel of your bike. It prevents clothing such as flowy skirts, long coats, and trousers from becoming tangled in the spokes and back brakes of the bicycle, thereby making it possible to commute by bike in everyday clothing. It is a common and standard feature on bicycles in countries that have a long history of bicycle commuting, such as the Netherlands and is a very useful tool for those who do not want to alter their dressing habits in order to ride their bikes.
