Section 1. First
GT Bicycle Owner’s Manual
A Special Note For Parents
WARNING
This manual does not cover Juvenile or BMX
bicycles.
As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for
the activities and safety of your minor child, and
that includes making sure that the bicycle is
properly fitted 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 bicycle; and that you and your
child have learned, understand and obey not
only the applicable local motor vehicle, bicycle
and traffic laws, but also the common sense
rules of safe and responsible bicycling. As a
parent, you should read this manual, as well as
review its warnings and the bicycle’s functions
and operating procedures with your child, before
letting your child ride the bicycle.
WARNING
Make sure that your child always wears an
approved bicycle helmet when riding; but
also make sure that your child understands
that a bicycle helmet is for bicycling only, and
must be removed when not riding.
A helmet must 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.
Section 1. First
NOTE: We strongly urge you to read this Manual

have all of the features described in this manual.
Ask your dealer to point out the features of your
bicycle.
