Helmet
A properly tting approved bicycle helmet that covers the forehead should be worn at all
times when riding your bicycle. Look for these two approved stickers on the back of your
helmet. CPSC (U.S. Government’s Standard, which has been U.S. Law since March 10,
1999) or SNELL (B-95 is a Premium Standard; B-90 is comparable to CPSC) or CE if you
are located in Europe. Always check your local laws and regulations to ensure you are
using the required form of safety equipment. Many states require other specic safety
devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of your state where
you ride and to comply with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself and
your bike as the law requires.
Gloves
A sturdy set of full-ngered gloves is always recommended while riding. Motorcycle
gloves will offer added protection, safety, comfort, and style. They help protect your
hands from serious injury, offer added grip strength for better control of your handlebars,
and dampen vibrations from the road.
Reflectors
Reectors are an important safety device that are designed as an integral part of your
bicycle. Federal regulations require every bicycle to be equipped with front, rear, wheel,
and pedal reectors. These reectors are designed to pick up and reect streetlights and
car lights in a way that helps you to be seen and recognized as a moving bicyclist. Check
reectors and their mounting brackets regularly to make sure they are clean, straight,
unbroken, and securely mounted.
WARNING: WARNING DO NOT REMOVE THE REFLECTORS FROM THE BIKE.
