We recommend that children do not ride on rough terrain or in the
rain unless accompanied by an adult.
1. Off-road biking requires careful attention and specific skills due to
variable conditions and hazards. Start slowly on easier terrain to
develop skills and gradually progress to higher speeds or more
challenging terrain. If your bike has suspension, be aware that
increased speed also increases the risk of losing control and falling.
Familiarize yourself with safe bike handling before attempting more
difficult situations.
2. Always wear appropriate safety gear for the type of riding you plan
to do.
3. Avoid riding alone in remote areas. Even when riding with others,
ensure that someone knows your intended route and expected
return time.
4. Carry identification in case of an accident and bring money, food, a
drink, and a mobile phone for emergencies.
5. Yield the right of way to pedestrians and animals. Ride in a manner
that doesn't frighten or endanger them and give them enough
space to make unexpected moves without putting your safety at
risk.
6. Be prepared in case something goes wrong while riding off-road, as
help may not be readily available.
7. Respect off-road regulations and obey local laws. Be mindful of
private property and remember that you may be sharing the trail
with hikers, equestrians, and other cyclists. Stay on designated trails
and avoid contributing to erosion by riding in mud or unnecessarily
sliding.
8. Preserve the ecosystem by avoiding cutting your own trail or taking
shortcuts through vegetation or streams. Minimize your impact on
the environment and leave everything as you found it. Remove any
waste or belongings you brought in with you.
The minimum age for riding should be 16 years or older, with
proper protective gear.

It is recommended to transport children using a towed trailer
instead of a child carrier mounted to the frame. Keep in mind
that towing a trailer affects stopping distances, turning radius,
and bicycle handling.
Children should always wear a helmet while in a child carrier or
trailer. Refer to local laws regarding bicycle helmet usage.
Do not carry anything that obstructs your vision or control of the
bicycle, or that can become entangled in moving parts.
Never hitch a ride by holding onto another vehicle.
Avoid performing stunts, wheelies, or jumps unless you have the
necessary skills and are willing to accept the risks involved.
Do not weave through traffic or make sudden moves that may
surprise others on the road.
Observe and yield the right of way when necessary.
Never ride a bicycle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
If possible, avoid riding in bad weather, during low visibility
conditions at dawn, dusk, or in the dark, or when excessively
tired. These conditions increase the risk of accidents.

Child carriers and racks can affect the handling of a
bicycle, altering the weight distribution and balance.
Use them cautiously to prevent loss of control and
serious injury or death.
