RIDE SLOWLY! - Your brakes performance is greatly reduced in wet
conditions. Lower speed helps you control the bike if you have to make a
sudden brake. If you live in an area where there is frequent rain or
showers, you may want to consult with your bicycle dealer about using
tires more suitable for wet conditions.
SPECIAL NOTE ON REAR COASTER BRAKE - Your tricycle is
equipped with a rear coaster brake (foot brake). It is important that you
minimize the chances of your foot slipping off the pedal when braking. Do
not ride in standing position in wet condition. Wearing shoes with non-
slip rubber soles or use of non-slip pedals is highly recommended for
areas with high rate of precipitation.
ENHANCE YOUR HANDLEBAR GRIP - The handlebar is the primary
control component of your bicycle and you must be sure you have a firm
grip of the handlebar in all conditions. Using gloves when riding your bike
helps minimize loss of grip in wet conditions.
FENDERS - HUSKY offers fenders as standard equipment for most of its
products. Fenders protect the rider from water and mud splashes.
SAFE RIDING ON STREETS
LEARN ABOUT YOUR STATE AND LOCAL BICYCLING LAWS - You
should obtain a copy of your local and state bicycling laws. Many bike
shops have a copy of the laws. You can also obtain a copy at your
nearest highway patrol office or your area cycling club. Learn these laws
thoroughly; they can save you life.
DO NOT RIDE AGAINST TRAFFIC - Stay as far right as possible and
allow room for cars to pass you as easily as possible. Try avoiding two-
lane roads with narrow shoulder or highways with high traffic.
RIDE DEFENSSIVELY - Always give right of way to autos, and never get
into a contest with an automobile driver. Be on the look out for cars
coming into the road from driveways, parking lots, or side streets. Make
an eye contact with the driver to make sure he/she can see you.
WATCH FOR PEDESTRIANS - Use your horn or bell to make sure
pedestrians can hear you are coming or passing from behind.
WATCH OUT FOR ROAD HAZARDS - One of the most common road
hazards are pot holes, cracks in the asphalt or concrete pavement,
