GENERAL WARNING:
Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for that risk, so you
need to know - and to practice- the rules of safe and responsible riding and of proper use and maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of
your bicycle reduces risk of injury.
This Manual contains many ”Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle and of failure
to follow safe cycling practices.
The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in serious injury or death.
The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word CAUTION indicates 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 a situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious damage to the
bicycle 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 not
always repeat the warning of possible injury or death.
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which can occur while riding, this Manual makes no representation about the
safe use of the bicycle under all conditions. There are risks associated with the use of any bicycle which cannot be predicted or avoided, and
which are the sole responsibility of the rider.
A special note for parents:
As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safety of your minor child, and that includes making sure that the bicycle is
properly fitted to the child; that it is in good repair and safe operating condition; that you and your child have learned and understand the safe
operation of the bicycle; and that you and your child have learned, understand and obey not only the applicable local motor vehicle, bicycle and
traffic laws, but also the common sense rules of safe and responsible bicycling. As a parent, you should read this manual, as well as review its
warnings and the bicycle functions and operating procedures with your child, before letting your child ride the bicycle.
WARNING: Make sure that your child always wears an approved bicycle helmet when riding; but also make sure that your child
understands that a bicycle helmet is for bicycling only, and must be removed when not riding. A helmet must not be worn while playing, in
play areas, on playground equipment, while climbing trees, or at any time while not riding a bicycle. Failure to follow this warning could
result in serious injury or death.
