Bignay Gi Fly - 9 Getting to know your Gi Fly

C — Wet weather riding
Wet weather and icy conditions impairs traction, braking, and visi-
bility, both for the bicyclist and for other vehicles sharing the road.
The risk of an accident is dramatically increased in wet conditions.
Under wet and icy conditions, the stopping power of your brakes (as
well as the brakes of other vehicles sharing the road) is dramatically
reduced and your tires don’t grip nearly as well. This makes it harder
to control speed and easier to lose control. To make sure that you
can slow down and stop safely in wet conditions, ride more slowly
and apply your brakes earlier and more gradually than you would
under normal, dry conditions.
When riding Gi Fly under wet conditions, you should take your pho-
ne out of the phone holder and put it in a secure place where it
cannot get wet. If you choose to ride with your phone in the phone
holder under wet conditions be sure to use a protective, waterproof
phone case. If you ride under wet conditions while your phone is in
the phone holder without a protective, waterproof case then your
phone will likely break. Your Gi Fly connects to your phone via Blue-
tooth. As such, your phone will remain connected to the bike even if
it is not located in the phone holder.

D — Night riding
Riding a bicycle at night is much more dangerous than riding during the day. A bicyclist is very
dicult for motorists and pedestrians to see. Therefore, children should never ride at dawn, at
dusk, or at night. Adults who choose to accept the greatly increased risk of riding at dawn, at dusk,
or at night need to take extra care both in riding and in choosing specialized equipment which
helps reduce that risk. Consult your dealer or Bignay Inc. about night riding safety equipment.
Gi Fly is equipped with both front and rear LED lights. Be sure to turn on these lights when riding
at night. Learn more about how to control the LED lights by visiting: http://giybike.com/down-
loads/GiFly-App-Tutorial.pdf. Your rear light will shine extra bright when you engage the front
and rear brakes so long as your lighting system is turned on.
Bicycle reectors are designed to pick up and reect car lights and street lights in a way that may
help you to be seen and recognized as a moving bicyclist. See Appendix C to learn more about the
model of reectors that you should use.
Reectors are not a substitute for the LED lights included in the bike.
Riding at dawn, at dusk, at night, or at other times of poor visibility
