    I wouldnt worry about it if I were you. Seems to me you are getting your knickers in a twist over something that probably wont happen.

    I really cant see how they will be able to that. Sounds incorrect to me.

    I don't know.
    Voluntary quarantine is the most significant factor that separates the countries with high COVID from the countries with low COVID.

    There is a lot of confusion about many things relating to COVID but the one that is most clear is that countries that do not enforce quarantine have high case rates.

    Looking close at the photo, looks like the shield attaches to the axle bolt of the rear wheel. The nut to the axle is usually tightened to 50 to 60 ft pounds of torque. Will the long leverage of the shield frame overcome and tilt back pushing against the rear rider on hard acceleration? I'll just guess they considered that. Or maybe I'm just missing something. Hard to tell from the photo...maybe there's a support bracket to the bike frame near the axle?
