GENERAL WARNING:Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosingto ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk, so you needto know — and to practice — the rules of safe and responsible riding andof proper use and maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of yourbicycle reduces risk of injury.This Manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning theconsequences of failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle and of failureto follow safe cycling practices. The combination of thesafety alert symbol and the word WARNINGindicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, couldresult in serious injury or death. The combination of thesafety alert symbol and the word CAUTIONindicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe practices. The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates asituation which, if not avoided, could result in serious damage to thebicycle or the voiding of your warranty.Many of the Warnings and Cautions say “you may lose control and fall”.Because any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do notalways repeat the warning of possible injury or death.Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition whichcan occur while riding, this Manual makes no representation about thesafe use of the bicycle under all conditions. There are risks associatedwith the use of any bicycle which cannot be predicted or avoided, andwhich are the sole responsibility of the rider.4
A special note for parents:As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safetyof your minor child, and that includes making sure that the bicycle isproperly fitted to the child; that it is in good repair and safe operatingcondition; that you and your child have learned and understand the safeoperation of the bicycle; and that you and your child have learned, understand and obey not only the applicable local motor vehicle, bicycle andtraffic laws, but also the common sense rules of safe and responsiblebicycling. As a parent, you should read this manual, as well as review itswarnings and the bicycle’s functions and operating procedures with yourchild, before letting your child ride the bicycle.WARNING: Make sure that your child always wears an approvedbicycle helmet when riding; but also make sure that your child understands that a bicycle helmet is for bicycling only, and must be removedwhen not riding. A helmet must not be worn while playing, in play areas,on playground equipment, while climbing trees, or at any time while notriding a bicycle. Failure to follow this warning could result in seriousinjury or death.5
1. FirstNOTE: We strongly urge you to read this Manual in its entirety before your firstride. At the very least, read and make sure that you understand each point in thissection, and refer to the cited sections on any issue which you don’t completelyunderstand. Please note that not all bicycles have all of the features described inthis Manual. Ask your dealer to point out the features of your bicycle.A. Bike fit1. Is your bike the right size? To check, see Section 3.A. If your bicycle is too largeor too small for you, you may lose control and fall. If your new bike is not the rightsize, ask your dealer to exchange it before you ride it.2. Is the saddle at the right height? To check, see Section 3.B. If you adjust yoursaddle height, follow the Minimum Insertion instructions in Section 3.B.3. Are saddle and seatpost securely clamped? A correctly tightened saddle willallow no saddle movement in any direction. See Section 3.B.4. Are the stem and handlebars at the right height for you? If not, see Section 3.C.5. Can you comfortably operate the brakes? If not, you may be able to adjust theirangle and reach. See Section 3.D and 3.E.6. Do you fully understand how to operate your new bicycle? If not, before yourfirst ride, have your dealer explain any functions or features which you do notunderstand.B. Safety first1. Always wear an approved helmet when riding your bike, and follow the helmetmanufacturer’s instructions for fit, use and care.2. Do you have all the other required and recommended safety equipment? SeeSection 2. It’s your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the areaswhere you ride, and to comply with all applicable laws.3. Do you know how to correctly operate your wheel quick releases? Check Section 4.A.1 to make sure. Riding with an improperly adjusted wheel quick releasecan cause the wheel to wobble or disengage from the bicycle, and cause seriousinjury or death.4. If your bike has toeclips and straps or clipless (“step-in”) pedals, make sureyou know how they work (see Section 4.E). These pedals require special techniques and skills. Follow the pedal manufacturer’s instructions for use, adjustment and care.6
5. Do you have “toe overlap”? On smaller framed bicycles your toe or toeclip maybe able to contact the front wheel when a pedal is all the way forward and thewheel is turned. Read Section 4.E. if you have toeclip overlap.6. Does your bike have suspension? If so, check Section 4.F. Suspension canchange the way a bicycle performs. Follow the suspension manufacturer’s instructions for use, adjustment and care.C. Mechanical Safety CheckRoutinely check the condition of your bicycle before every ride.Nuts, bolts & straps: Make sure nothing is loose. Lift the front wheel off theground by two or three inches, then let it bounce on the ground. Anything sound,feel or look loose? Do a visual and tactile inspection of the whole bike. Any looseparts or accessories? If so, secure them. If you’re not sure, ask someone withexperience to check.Tires & Wheels: Make sure tires are correctly inflated (see Section 4.G.1). Checkby putting one hand on the saddle, one on the intersection of the handlebarsand stem, then bouncing your weight on the bike while looking at tire deflection.Compare what you see with how it looks when you know the tires are correctlyinflated; and adjust if necessary.Tires in good shape? Spin each wheel slowly and look for cuts in the tread andsidewall. Replace damaged tires before riding the bike.Wheels true? Spin each wheel and check for brake clearance and side-to-sidewobble. If a wheel wobbles side to side even slightly, or rubs against or hits thebrake pads, take the bike to a qualified bike shop to have the wheel trued.CAUTION: Wheels must be true for the brakes to work effectively. Wheeltruing is a skill which requires special tools and experience. Do not attempt totrue a wheel unless you have the knowledge, experience and tools needed to dothe job correctly.Wheel rims clean and undamaged? Make sure the rims are clean and undamaged along the braking surface, and check for excess rim wear.Brakes: Check the brakes for proper operation (see Sections 4.C). Squeeze thebrake levers. Are the brake quick-releases closed? All control cables seated andsecurely engaged? Do the brake pads contact the wheel rim squarely and makefull contact with the rim? Do the brake pads touch the wheel rim within an inchof brake lever movement? Can you apply full braking force at the levers withouthaving them touch the handlebar? If not, your brakes need adjustment. Do not ridethe bike until the brakes are properly adjusted by a professional bicycle mechanic.7
Quick Releases: Make sure the front wheel, rear wheel and seat post quick releases are properly adjusted and in the locked position. See Section 4.A and 4.B.Handlebar and saddle alignment: Make sure the saddle and handlebar stem areparallel to the bike’s center line and clamped tight enough so that you can’t twistthem out of alignment. See Sections 3.B and 3.C.Handlebar ends: Make sure the handlebar grips are secure and in good condition.If not, have your dealer replace them. Make sure the handlebar ends and extensions are plugged. If not, plug them before you ride. If the handlebars have barend extensions, make sure they are clamped tight enough so you can’t twist them.WARNING: Loose or damaged handlebar grips or extensions can causeyou to lose control and fall. Unplugged handlebars or extensions can cut youand cause serious injury in an otherwise minor accident.D. First rideWhen you buckle on your helmet and go for your first familiarization ride on yournew bicycle, be sure to pick a controlled environment, away from cars, othercyclists, obstacles or other hazards. Ride to become familiar with the controls,features and performance of your new bike.Familiarize yourself with the braking action of the bike (see Section 4.C). Test thebrakes at slow speed, putting your weight toward the rear and gently applying thebrakes, rear brake first. Sudden or excessive application of the front brake couldpitch you over the handlebars. Applying brakes too hard can lock up a wheel,which could cause you to lose control and fall. Skidding is an example of what canhappen when a wheel locks up.If your bicycle has toeclips or clipless pedals, practice getting in and out of thepedals. See paragraph B.4 above and Section 4.E.4.If your bike has suspension, familiarize yourself with how the suspension responds to brake application and rider weight shifts. See paragraph B.6 above andSection 4.F.Practice shifting the gears (see Section 4.D). Remember to never move theshifter while pedaling backward, nor pedal backwards immediately after having moved the shifter. This could jam the chain and cause serious damage to thebicycle.Check out the handling and response of the bike; and check the comfort.If you have any questions, or if you feel anything about the bike is not as itshould be, consult your dealer before riding.8
2. SafetyA. The BasicsWARNING: Many states require specific safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the state where you ride and tocomply with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself and yourbike as the law requires.Observe all local bicycle laws and regulations. Observe regulations aboutlicensing of bicycles, riding on sidewalks, laws regulating bike path and trail use,helmet laws, child carrier laws, special bicycle traffic laws, and so on. It’s yourresponsibility to know and obey the laws.1. Always wear a cycling helmet which meets the latest certification standards and is appropriate for the type of riding you do.Always follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions for fit, useand care of your helmet. Most serious bicycle injuries involve headinjuries which might have been avoided if the rider had worn anappropriate helmet.WARNING: Failure to wear a helmet when riding may result in seriousinjury or death.2. Always do the Mechanical Safety Check (Section 1.C) before you get on a bike.3. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of your bicycle: brakes (Section 4.C.);pedals (Section 4.E.); shifting (Section 4.D.)4. Be careful to keep body parts and other objects away from the sharp teeth ofchainrings, the moving chain, the turning pedals and cranks, and the spinningwheels of your bicycle.5. Always wear: Shoes that will stay on your feet and will grip the pedals. Never ride barefoot orin sandals. Bright, visible clothing that is not so loose that it can be tangled in the bicycle orsnagged by objects at the side of the road or trail. Protective eyewear, to protect against airborne dirt, dust and bugs — tintedwhen the sun is bright, clear when it’s not.6. Don’t jump with your bike. Jumping a bike, particularly a BMX or mountainbike, can be fun; but it can put huge and unpredictable stress on the bicycle andits components. Riders who insist on jumping their bikes risk serious damage,to their bicycles as well as to themselves. Before you attempt to jump, do stuntriding or race with your bike, read and understand Section 2.F.7. Ride at a speed appropriate for conditions. Increased speed means higher risk.9
B. Riding Safety1. You are sharing the road or the path with others — motorists, pedestrians andother cyclists. Respect their rights.2. Ride defensively. Always assume that others do not see you.3. Look ahead, and be ready to avoid: Vehicles slowing or turning, entering the road or your lane ahead of you, orcoming up behind you. Parked car doors opening. Pedestrians stepping out. Children or pets playing near the road. Pot holes, sewer grating, railroad tracks, expansion joints, road or sidewalkconstruction, debris and other obstructions that could cause you to swerve intotraffic, catch your wheel or cause you to have an accident. The many other hazards and distractions which can occur on a bicycle ride.4. Ride in designated bike lanes, on designated bike paths or as close to theedge of the road as possible, in the direction of traffic flow or as directed by localgoverning laws.5. Stop at stop signs and traffic lights; slow down and look both ways at streetintersections. Remember that a bicycle always loses in a collision with a motorvehicle, so be prepared to yield even if you have the right of way.6. Use approved hand signals for turning and stopping.7. Never ride with headphones. They mask traffic sounds and emergency vehiclesirens, distract you from concentrating on what’s going on around you, and theirwires can tangle in the moving parts of the bicycle, causing you to lose control.8. Never carry a passenger, unless it is a small child wearing an approved helmetand secured in a correctly mounted child carrier or a child-carrying trailer.9. Never carry anything which obstructs your vision or your complete control ofthe bicycle, or which could become entangled in the moving parts of the bicycle.10. Never hitch a ride by holding on to another vehicle.11. Don’t do stunts, wheelies or jumps. If you intend to do stunts, wheelies, jumpsor go racing with your bike despite our advice not to, read Section 2.F, Downhill,Stunt or Competition Biking, now. Think carefully about your skills before deciding to take the large risks that go with this kind of riding.12. Don’t weave through traffic or make any moves that may surprise people withwhom you are sharing the road.13. Observe and yield the right of way.10
14. Never ride your bicycle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.15. If possible, avoid riding in bad weather, when visibility is obscured, at dawn,dusk or in the dark, or when extremely tired. Each of these conditions increasesthe risk of accident.C. Off Road SafetyWe recommend that children not ride on rough terrain unless they are accompanied by an adult.1. The variable conditions and hazards of off-road riding require close attention and specific skills. Start slowly on easier terrain and build up your skills. Ifyour bike has suspension, the increased speed you may develop also increasesyour risk of losing control and falling. Get to know how to handle your bike safelybefore trying increased speed or more difficult terrain.2. Wear safety gear appropriate to the kind of riding you plan to do.3. Don’t ride alone in remote areas. Even when riding with others, make sure thatsomeone knows where you’re going and when you expect to be back.4. Always take along some kind of identification, so that people know who you arein case of an accident; and take along a couple of dollars in cash for a candy bar,a cool drink or an emergency phone call.5. Yield right of way to pedestrians and animals. Ride in a way that does notfrighten or endanger them, and give them enough room so that their unexpectedmoves don’t endanger you.6. Be prepared. If something goes wrong while you’re riding off-road, help maynot be close.7. Before you attempt to jump, do stunt riding or race with your bike, read andunderstand Section 2.F.Off Road respectObey the local laws regulating where and how you can ride off-road, and respectprivate property. You may be sharing the trail with others — hikers, equestrians,other cyclists. Respect their rights. Stay on the designated trail. Don’t contributeto erosion by riding in mud or with unnecessary sliding. Don’t disturb the ecosystem by cutting your own trail or shortcut through vegetation or streams. It is yourresponsibility to minimize your impact on the environment. Leave things as youfound them; and always take out everything you brought in.11
D. Wet Weather RidingWARNING: Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility, both forthe bicyclist and for other vehicles sharing the road. The risk of an accident isdramatically increased in wet conditions.Under wet conditions, the stopping power of your brakes (as well as the brakes ofother vehicles sharing the road) is dramatically reduced and your tires don’t gripnearly as well. This makes it harder to control speed and easier to lose control.To make sure that you can slow down and stop safely in wet conditions, ride moreslowly and apply your brakes earlier and more gradually than you would undernormal, dry conditions. See also Section 4.C.E. Night RidingRiding a bicycle at night is many times more dangerous than riding during theday. A bicyclist is very difficult for motorists and pedestrians to see. Therefore,children should never ride at dawn, at dusk or at night. Adults who chose to accept
