Page 7: Before Your First Ride
BICYCLES, ACCIDENTS, AND SAFETY Your bicycle can be fun when used for transportation, recreation and exercise. But riding a bicycle can also be dangerous, especially if you try to ride beyond the limits of your ability or the limits of your bicycle. The skill of bicycle riders can vary greatly, just like the skill of automobile drivers or skiers. - Page 8 KNOW HOW YOUR BICYCLE PERFORMS Practice at slow speeds first Before riding fast or in more difficult conditions, learn the function and performance of all the mechanisms of your bicycle by riding at slower speeds in a flat, empty parking lot. Riding safely with a coaster brake Riding, coasting and stopping are all controlled by the foot operated crank.
- Page 9 BEFORE EVERY RIDE, CHECK YOUR BICYCLE Check your bicycle and its components against the following checklist before every ride. This is not a comprehensive maintenance program. If you are not certain if your bicycle has a problem, take your bicycle to a professional mechanic for service. In addition, if you have an impact, crash, or accident, even a minor one, always have the bicycle inspected thoroughly by a professional before riding the bicycle again.
- Page 10 INSPECTION Before every ride, or whenever the wheel is installed, check the chain tension. Without proper tension, the chain can come off. If the fixed gear is being used as a brake and the chain comes off, you may not be able to control your bicycle's speed. When grasped in the middle of the chain between the front and rear sprockets, there should be between 1/4 and 1/2 inch (6-12 mm) total vertical movement.

Before your first ride, check that your elastic skirt net is properly secured to your bike. Please follow these instructions carefully to make sure your skirt net is securely attached to your rear fender.
