Helmets
It is strongly advised that a rider and child passenger always wear a properly fitting and approved bicycle safety helmet when
riding. Once safely dismounted from the bike, a child’s helmet should be removed. Bicycle helmets should only and always be used
for bicycle riding.
When riding a bike, always wear a properly fitted helmet that covers the forehead. Many locations
require specific safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the local laws, rules, and
regulations where you ride and to comply with all applicable laws, including equipping yourself and your
bike as the law requires.
General Warnings
Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of damage, injury, and death. By choosing to ride a bike, you assume the responsibility for
that risk, so you need to know, and practice the rules of safe and responsible riding and the proper use and maintenance of
this bike. Proper use and maintenance of your bike reduces risk of damage, injury, and death.
Biking and controlled substances do not mix. Never operate a bike while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substance
or condition that could impair motor functions, judgment, or the ability to safely operate a bike or another vehicle.
