jury increases with both speed and age.

uct:
– Knowledge of the laws/safety guidelines/rules of
road cycling (riding safely)
– Ability to operate and control a standard road bike

erly adapted to the dimensions of your body, and
be well maintained.

tion. Utilize the operating unit to change motor as-
sistance levels while riding.
