General Warning:
Like any sport, cycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a bike,
you assume the responsibility for that risk, so you need to know the rules of safe and
responsible riding and of proper use and maintenance. Proper use and maintenance
of your bike reduces risk of injury.
This manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences
of failure to maintain or inspect your bike, and of failure to follow safe cycling practices.
• The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word WARNING indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury
or death.
• The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION indicates
a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices.
• The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation
which, if not avoided, could result in serious damage to the bike or the voiding of
your warranty.
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say “you may lose control and fall”. Because any
fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the warning of
possible injury or death.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which can occur
while riding, this manual makes no representation about the safe use of the bike
under all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of any bicycle which
cannot be predicted or avoided, and which are the sole responsibility of the rider.
A Special Note for Parents:
As a parent or guardian you are responsible for the activities and safety of your
child and that includes making sure the bike is properly tted to the child; that
it is in good repair and safe operating condition; that you and your child have
learned and understand the safe operation of the bike; and that you and your
child have learned, understand and obey not only the applicable local motor
vehicle, bicycle and trac laws, but also the common sense rules of safe and
responsible cycling. As a parent, you should read this manual as well as review
its warnings and the bike’s functions and operating procedures with your child
before letting your child ride the bike.
WARNING: Make sure your child always wears an approved bicycle helmet
when riding; but also make sure that your child understands that a bicycle helmet
is for cycling only and must be removed when not riding. A helmet should not be
worn while playing, in play areas, on playground equipment, while climbing trees,
or at any time while not riding a bicycle. Failure to follow this warning could result
in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Make sure your child’s bike is sized correctly so that when the
saddle is adjusted correctly both feet can touch the ground. If your child’s new
bike doesn’t t, ask your stockist to exchange it before you ride it.
