OWNERS MANUAL
4
Like many forms of transportation and recreation, bicycling involves
the potential risk of injury and/or damage. By choosing to cycle, you
are assuming responsibility for these risks. In an attempt to reduce the
risk, we believe you need to know and practice the rules of safe and
responsible riding and of proper use and maintenance, which will help
to reduce the risk of injury or damage. Consequently, you will nd many
“WARNINGS” and “CAUTIONS” throughout this Manual followed by dis-
cussions on the consequences in failing to inspect and maintain your
bicycle and/or following safe cycling protocol. Again, we recommend
you familiarize yourself with this information since we are highlighting
it with your safety in mind.
It is impossible to anticipate or discuss all situations or conditions in
this Manual, which may or may not lead to injury or damage while
riding this bicycle. We have taken the utmost care and attention in
manufacturing a safe and reliable product and in providing you with
this informative Manual that will assist you in reducing risks associated
while using your bicycle. However, there are risks that cannot be pre-
dicted or avoided, and consequently, are the sole responsibility of you,
the rider. Our intention here is not to cast fear in riding a bicycle, but
instead to recognize the potential dangers associated with traveling
on two wheels and thereby ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.
