In retirement I have taken up collecting unwanted bikes and repairing them to be given away through the local Soup Kitchen or the local Boys and Girls Club. As you can guess the bikes I get are not in the best shape and are often beat up, rusted, and missing parts. Often I will take 2+ trash bikes to make 1 useable bike. Suffice it to say I put far more time and funds into these bikes than can ever be justified on a balance sheet.

I am currently working on a 16 inch pink Barbie bike - single speed, and in really good shape except it is missing the chain guard.

So, my questions are - does anyone know of a source for chain guards that would fit a small bike like this?

Or failing that how much danger will a rider of this bike be in without a chain guard. I certainly don't want to see anyone get hurt riding one of the bikes I work on.

This bike can be bought new at a big box store for under $70 so I don't want to spend a lot of time chasing this.

Thanks for your thoughts.
