WARNING: Clipless pedals are intended for use with shoes specifi-
cally made to fit them and are designed to firmly keep the foot
engaged with the pedal. Practice is required to learn to engage and
disengage the foot safely. Until engaging and disengaging the foot
becomes a reflex action, the technique requires concentration
which can distract the rider's attention, causing the rider to lose
control and fall. Practice engaging and disengaging clipless pedals
in a place where there are no obstacles, hazards or traffic; and be
sure that you follow the setup and service instructions and warn-
ings which came with your pedals.
G. TIRES AND TUBES
1. Tires
Bicycle tires are available in many designs and specifications, ranging
from general-purpose designs to tires designed to perform best under
very specific weather or terrain conditions. Your bicycle has been
equipped with tires which the bike's manufacturer felt were the best
balance of performance and value for the use for which the bike was
intended. If, once you've gained experience with your new bike, you
feel that a different tire might better suit your riding needs, your dealer
can help you select the most appropriate design.
