get brake lever guards designed for a mountain bike
we use them at NJMP and save crazy money. They break in a crash but they hold up against bumping. Personally regardless of rules I would want a lever guard on the bike to feel comfortable.

There was some trial and error with these, a team member took the time to find ones long enough with the right cut. We run them on the end of 13.5" clip-on bars
