Contraindications
In general, the indications for riding a bicycle should be approved by a doctor
or orthopedist. It should therefore be clarified prior to procurement whether
contraindications exist for the patient. In general, any type of pain repre-
sents a contraindication.
For roadworthy tricycles, the following components are specified in accor-
dance with the German Road Traffic Regulations:
• Two brakes functioning independently of one another
• A bicycle bell with a clear ring
• Headlamps, rear lamp with reflectors, large-area reflectors, pedal
reflectors, 2 yellow spoke reflectors or white reflecting rings on each
wheel, and front reflectors in the design tested for the construction type.
• A bicycle trailer may only be used on bicycles with a sturdy frame and
fork construction. Also important are strong bicycle brakes at the front
and rear. Users must remember that the riding characteristics of the
loaded trailer change substantially in comparison to operation of the
bicycle on its own.
