async A1 - 5. WARNING

5. WARNING
7.Use approved hand signals for turning and stopping.
8.Never ride with headphones. They mask trac sounds and emer-
gency vehicle sirens, distract you from concentrating on what's going
on around you, and their wires can tangle in the moving pas of the
bicycle, causing you to lose control.
9.Never car a passenger, unless it's a small child wearing an
approved helmet and secured in a correctly mounted child carrier or
child-caring trailer. Only install a child carrier or rack on a bicycle if
the bicycle catego allows it and it does not exceed the maximum
allowable cargo weight. Just because a frame has eyelets does not
mean it can suppo cargo weight, as eyelets can be intended for
fenders only.
10.The minimum age of the rider should be 16 years old or above, with
proper protection and gears.
Child carriers and racks (and the weight they can car) aect the
handling of a bicycle by altering the center of gravity, weight, and
balance. Use of a child carrier or rack can result in a loss of control,
resulting in serious inju and/or death.
1.Asyncbike recommends transpoing children using a towed trailer
instead of a child carrier mounted to the frame. However, keep in mind
that towing a trailer increases stopping distances, as well as aects
the turning radius and handling of the bicycle.
2.Children should always wear a helmet when in a child carrier or
trailer. Please refer to your local laws regarding the use of bicycle
helmets.
