NOTICE: Some state and local traffic laws may require that your bicycle be equipped
with a warning device, such as a horn or bell and a light, if the bicycle is to be ridden
after dark.
3.
Always wear shoes when riding a bicycle and avoid loose fitting clothes.
4.
CAUTION: WET WEATHER WARNING: Check your brakes frequently. The ability to
stop your bicycle is critical. Roads are slippery in wet weather so avoid sharp turns and
allow more distance for stopping. Caliper brakes may become less efficient when wet.
Leaves, loose gravel and other debris on the road can also effect stopping distance.
5.
The kickstand is designed to support the bicycle only. Not the rider.
6.
Replace bent or broken spokes, and bent or damaged wheel rims.
7.
Obey all traffic regulations. Most traffic regulations apply to bike riders as well as
automobile operators.
8.
Follow the traffic flow in a straight line close to the curb. Watch for cars moving in and
out of traffic.
9.
Always ride alone. Never carry other riders. This is dangerous and it makes the bicycle
harder to control.

Set up a sensible distance between riders. Don't tailgate.
11. Always be alert. Animals or people may dart in front of you. Be on the alert. People
have the right of way. Be alert to people opening car doors when passing parked cars.
Your bicycle was not designed for stunting and experimentation. Enjoy riding it in a safe
manner.
12. Be careful at all intersections. Slow down and look both ways before crossing.
13. Use hand signals. Always let other drivers and pedestrians know what you are going to
do. Signal 100 ft(30.48 cm). before turning unless your hand is needed to control the
bike.
14. CAUTION: NIGHT TIME OPERATION: We do NOT recommend riding your bike at
night. If you have an emergency that makes it necessary to ride at right, have proper
lights and reflectors. Do NOT ride at night without a headlight, taillight, a white front
reflector, a red rear reflector and yellow wheel reflectors.
15. Do not carry packages or objects which obstruct vision.
16. Never hitch rides. Never hold onto moving vehicles while riding. Never Stunt.
