Riding instructions

Use Your Brakes Carefully

Always ride with a safe distance between you and other vehicles or objects; use your
brakes. Adjust distances and brake forces for the conditions in which you ride.
If your bicycle has two hand brakes, apply the two brakes at the same time. Over-use
or incorrect use of a front-wheel brake could cause the rear wheel to lift from the
ground which could decrease your control.
WARNING
Brake force applied to the front-wheel suddenly or too fully could lift the rear wheel off
the ground or cause the front wheel to slide out from below you. This could decrease your
control and cause you to fall. Apply both brakes at the same time, and move rearward on
your bicycle.
We make bicycles so that the left brake-lever controls the front-wheel brake.
Many models of modern brakes are very powerful; they are made to stop a bicycle in
wet or muddy conditions. If you think your brakes are too powerful, transport your
bicycle to your dealer for adjustment or replacement of the brake system.
