SAFETY INFORMATION 15
Footwear, gloves, safety goggles or glasses can be worn. Wind, water spray,
bugs and speed may cause a person’s eyes to water and create blurred vision.
If you are planning a ride in cold weather or water, consider adding appropriate
warm clothing. Not only will it make your ride more comfortable, but it may delay
or protect you from hypothermia if you fall into cold water. Be prepared for chang-
ing conditions.
