Check that the steering, brakes, pedals, and lights work to avoid
problems during the ride.
The handlebars should move smoothly without resistance
when turning both to the right and to the left.
When the left brake lever is activated, the bicycle must brake
on both front wheels.
When the right brake lever is activated, the bicycle must
brake on the rear wheel. If the bike is equipped with a foot
brake, the rear brake is operated by stepping backwards on
the pedals.
The pedals should be able to turn without resistance.
Adapt your speed to the trac conditions. If turning sharply or
riding at a speed of more than 8 km/h when taking a turn, there is
a risk of the bike tipping over, which can lead to injuries. Therefore
bring your speed down before turning sharply.
Check the recommended tyre pressure (5 bar) regularly.
Test the parking brake. When the bike is at a standstill, pull the left
brake lever and turn the little black knob to the left while holding in
the lever.
You should only use the parking brake when the bike is stationary for
short periods, as the hydraulic brakes can be damaged by long-
term pressure.
