WARNING: Like all mechanical components, bicycles are susceptible to wear and high
stresses. Various materials and components respond dierently to wear and stress fatigue. As
your bicycle ages, it is advisable to conduct more frequent inspections for deformed, cracked,
bent, or loose components. These conditions could result in sudden failure, posing a risk of
injury to the rider. If any part is cracked or broken, DO NOT RIDE until repairs have been made.
BEFORE RIDING
1. WARNING-ON AND OFF -ROAD CONDITIONS: The condition of the riding surface
signicantly impacts your safety. When the surface is wet or contains sand, leaves, small
rocks, or other loose debris, exercise extra caution. Gradually reduce the speed of the bicycle

conditions until you become adept at braking eectively under all road conditions.

reectors on bicycles. Certain state and local laws may additionally stipulate the inclusion of

Vision is signicantly limited during dawn, dusk, and nighttime for bike riders, motorists, and
bystanders. If riding at night is unavoidable, exercise extra precautions by using front and

route to traverse well-lit areas while avoiding heavy trac zones.
