A collapsible guard adapted to cover the rear wheel of a stationery exercise bicycle supported on a bicycle trainer is described. The guard has side walls, an upper wall and a front opening sized to receive the bicycle rear wheel and trainer. In one embodiment of the invention, the guard includes spaced side walls having upper edges, front edges and lower edges; and a flexible upper wall with side edges, a front edge, and a rear edge, the side walls being releasibly attached along at least part of their lengths to the upper wall side edges, the upper wall curving downwardly from its front edge to its rear edge when the side walls are attached. In this embodiment, the side walls are foldable onto opposite faces of the upper wall. In another embodiment, the guard includes a collapsible frame with curved bands and a cover attachable over the frame.

The guard of claim 1, wherein the front edges of said side panels are convex. 3. The guard of claim 1, wherein the front edge of said upper panel curves rearwardly toward its center. 4. The guard of claim 1, wherein said upper panel has upper and lower surfaces, one of said side panels being foldable against said upper surface and the other of said panels being foldable against said lower surface when said side panels are not releasibly attached to said upper panel. 5. The guard of claim 1, wherein the side edges of said upper and side panels are bound with cloth tape, adjacent tapes along said rear sections being bound together to permanently attach said upper panel side edges along rear sections of said upper panel side edges. 6. The guard of claim 1, further including releasable tabs adjacent the front edges of the panels at the joinders of the side panels to the upper panel. 7. The guard of claim 1, wherein said side panels are releasibly attached to said upper panel with zippers. 8. The guard of claim 1, wherein said side and upper panels are constructed of resilient plastic sheet having outer surfaces covered with fabric. 9. A three-panel collapsible guard adapted to cover the rear wheel of a stationary exercise bicycle supported on a bicycle trainer comprising: a) first and second spaced side panels, each of said panels having an upper edge, a convex front edge and a lower edge, the upper edges of the side panels curving downwardly from said side panel front edges; andb) a single intermediate upper panel having side edges, a front edge that curves rearwardly toward its center, and a rear edge, said side panel upper edges being permanently attached to said upper panel side edges along rear sections of said upper panel side edges adjacent said upper panel rear edge, and releasibly attached to said upper panel side edges from said rear sections to said upper panel front edge, said upper panel continuously curving downwardly from said upper panel front edge to said upper panel rear edge to form the top and rear of the guard when said side panels are releasibly attached to said upper panel. 10. The guard of claim 9, wherein said upper panel has upper and lower surfaces, one of said panels being foldable against said upper surface and the other of said panels being foldable against said lower surface when said side panels are not releasibly attached to said upper panel. 11. The guard of claim 9, wherein the side edges of said upper and side panels are bound with cloth tape, adjacent tapes along said rear sections being bound together to permanently attach said upper panel said edges along rear sections of said upper panel side edges. 12. The guard of claim 9, further including releasable tabs adjacent the front edges of the panels at the joinders of the side panels to the upper panel. 13. The guard of claim 9, wherein said side panels are releasibly attached to said upper panel with zippers. 14. The guard of claim 9, wherein said side and upper panels are constructed of resilient plastic sheet having outer surfaces covered with fabric. 15. A three-panel collapsible guard adapted to cover the rear wheel of a stationary exercise bicycle supported on a bicycle trainer comprising: a) first and second spaced side panels, each of said panels having an upper edge, a convex front edge and a lower edge, the upper edges of the side panels curving downwardly from said side panel front edges;b) a single intermediate upper panel having side edges, a front edge that curves rearwardly toward its center, and a rear edge, said side panel upper edges being permanently attached to said upper panel side edges along rear sections of said upper panel side edges adjacent said upper panel rear edge, and releasibly attached with zippers to said upper panel side edges from said rear sections to said upper panel front edge, said upper panel continuously curving downwardly from said upper panel front edge to said upper panel rear edge to form the top and rear of the guard when said side panels are releasibly attached to said upper panel; andc) cloth tape binding the side edges of said upper and side panels, adjacent tapes along said rear sections being bound together to permanently attach said upper panel side edges along rear sections of said upper panel side edges, said side and upper panels being constructed of resilient plastic sheet having outer surfaces covered with fabric.
