Crash caused by loose clothing
Laces, scarves and other loose items may become
entangled in the spokes on the wheels and the chain
drive. This may result in a crash and injuries.
Wear sturdy footwear and close-fitting clothing.
Crash caused by soiling
Heavy soiling can impair the functions of the bicycle,
for example, the function of the brakes. This may result
in a crash and injuries.
Remove coarse soiling before riding.
Crash caused by poor road conditions
Loose objects, for example, branches and twigs, may
become caught in the wheels and cause a crash.
Be aware of the road conditions.
Ride slowly and brake in good time.
When riding downhill, high speeds may be reached.
The bicycle is only engineered for exceeding a speed
of 25 km/h briefly. In particular the tyres can fail if
exposed to a continuous load.
Decelerate the bicycle with the brakes if higher
speeds than 25 km/h are reached.
Heat or direct sunlight can cause the tyre pressure to
increase above the permitted maximum pressure. This
can destroy the tyres.
Never park the bicycle in the sun.
On hot days, regularly check the tyre pressure and
adjust it as necessary.
