4.5 Fit Front and Rear Lights if Riding in Low Light Conditions
WARNING! Never ride a bicycle in low light conditions (such as when 1 automobile driver in 20 would
consider it appropriate to have headlights on) without front and rear lights fitted and ‘on’
(illuminated) that meet or exceed the national standards of the territory in which it is being ridden.
We recommend that you consult the relevant national safety body or a reputable cycle dealer on
what the minimum recommended lighting requirements are in your particular country or region.
For reference, Gocycle has a 34.9mm diameter seat post for the rear light strap. You can fit the front light to the
handlebar or the vertical stem tube (also 34.9mm diameter) if required. We recommend that you choose a light with
a variable length strap mounting system. We recommend the following safety and tail light accessories for the
Gocycle (available for purchase at www.gocycle.com):
 Front safety light: CatEye HL-LD130
 Rear light/reflector: CatEye TL-LD500
Ensure that rear lights/reflectors are not obstructed by the rider’s clothing.
4.6 Wear a Helmet
WARNING! Never ride a bicycle without wearing an approved helmet. Serious brain damage can occur if
you fall off a bicycle and you are not wearing a helmet. Be smart and wear a helmet when riding.
4.7 ‘No-Hands’ Riding
WARNING! Never ride a bicycle without both hands holding and in control of the handlebar and
steering. Riding without both hands holding the handlebar can cause a bicycle to become unstable
and result in serious injury or even death.
4.8 Wet Weather Riding
Under wet conditions, the stopping power of your brakes (as well as the brakes of other vehicles sharing the road) is
dramatically reduced, and your tyres will not grip nearly as well. This make it harder to control speed and easier to
lose control.
WARNING! Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility, both for the cyclist and for other
vehicles sharing the road. The risk of an accident is dramatically increased in wet conditions.
To make sure that you can slow down and stop safely in wet conditions, ride more slowly and apply your brakes
more gradually than you would under normal, dry conditions.
