First, check yourself for injuries, and take care of them as best you can. Seek medical help if necessary.
Next, check your bike for damage, and fix what you can so you can get home. Then, take your bicycle to your dealer for a thorough check.
WARNING: A crash or other impact can put extraordinary stress on bicycle components, causing them to fatigue prematurely. Components
suffering from stress fatigue can fail suddenly and catastrophically, causing loss of control, serious injury or death.
6. About your Dealer
Your dealer is here to help you get the bike and accessories which are most appropriate for the kind of riding that you intend to do; and to help
you maintain your equipment so that you can get the maximum enjoyment from it. Your bike shop staff should have the knowledge, tools and
experience to give you reliable advice and competent service. Your dealer carries the products of a variety of manufacturers so that you can
have the choices which best meet your needs and your budget.
But your dealer’s staff can’t make decisions for you; nor can they assume responsibility for your lack of knowledge, experience, skill or common
sense. They can explain to you how something works, or what part or accessory will meet your special needs, but they can’t know your questions
or your needs unless you tell them.
If you have a problem with your bike or your riding, talk to your dealer. Make sure that the dealer understands your problem or question, and
make sure that you really understand the answers.
