ting with Gi Fly. You can potentially get ngers, hands, hair, or loose
clothing caught in parts of the bicycle, especially when the wheel

Failure to wear a helmet when riding may result in serious injury
or death.
Always wear a cycling helmet which meets the lat-
est certication standards and is appropriate for
