First – an important SAFETY reminder: The aero position is not always a safe riding position.
Users of the Aerobar Edge agree to take responsibility for safe turns and cornering, as well as an
implementation schedule that is conducive to the individual user's body, medical history, etc. Users
should consult their Physician if there are any doubts about frequency, duration or other variables
inherent in the use of the Aerobar Edge training tool. Use of the Aerobar Edge will encourage you
to train and ride in aero but PLEASE BE SMART AND SAFE with both integration and safe turns
and cornering. The user of the Aerobar Edge assumes all responsibility for choosing when to enter
and maintain an aero position. Consult an expert bike fitter, coach or medical professional who can
provide necessary guidance. Aero is a great position – but only when sustained safely. Please make
safety your first priority when using the Aerobar Edge. Now that we've covered the safety side of
things, let's get onto the fun stuff!
