Abstract
A pedal driven cycle comprising a belt drive connecting a power input sprocket to a driven sprocket along a chain line; an outer protective belt drive cover plate having a footprint which substantially coincides with a side profile of the belt drive along at least a major portion of its length of travel so that the outer cover plate does not extend beyond an outer surface of the belt drive; and fixtures for mounting the outer protective belt drive cover plate to the cycle in parallel with the chain line and laterally spaced apart from a side edge of the belt drive to provide a clearance, with fore and aft adjustment.
