Rules Of The Road - Dynacraft SINGLE SPEED Owner's Manual

RULES OF THE ROAD AND SAFETY TIPS
NOTE: Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you
assume the responsibility for that risk; not the people who sold you the bike; nor the people who made it;
nor the people who distribute it; nor the people who manage or maintain the roads and trails you ride on.
YOU. So you need to know - and to practice - the rules of safe and responsible riding.
1. IN THE INTEREST OF SAFER CYCLING,
MAKE SURE YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND
YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL. NOTE AND
PERFORM PRE RIDE SAFETY CHECKS.
2. NOTICE: Some state and local 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. CHECK YOUR BRAKES FREQUENTLY. THE
ABILITY TO STOP YOUR BICYCLE IS CRITICAL.
Roads are slippery when wet so avoid sharp turns and
allow more distance stopping. Caliper brakes may
become less efficient when wet. Leaves, loose gravel,
and other debris can also effect stopping.
5. ALWAYS RIDE IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS
TRAFFIC. Never ride against traffic.
LEFT
6. STOP AND LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAVE AN ALLEY,
DRIVEWAY, OR PARKING LOT. Stop, look to the left,
to the right, and to the left again for traffic. Ride only
when it is clear.
7. KEEP TO THE RIGHT. Follow the traffic flow in a
straight line and stay close to the curb. Watch for cars
moving in and out of traffic.
8. OBEY ALL TRAFFIC LAWS REGULATIONS. Most
traffic regulations apply to bike riders as well as
automobile operators.
9. ALWAYS RIDE ALONE. NEVER CARRY OTHER
RIDERS. This is dangerous and makes the bike harder
to control. The bicycles distributed by Dynacraft BSC,
Inc. are intended for one rider only.
10. ALWAYS BE ALERT. Be ALERT - pedestrians have
the right of way. Be ALERT - when riding near parked
cars - ride far enough away from the cars so that you
won't get hit if someone opens the car door.
STOP RIGHT
BEFORE YOU RIDE
