Specialized BICYCLE - A Special Note for Parents

2
A special note for parents:
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
tted 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 trafc 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.
