Wear protective clothing
Riding a bicycle is a potentially dangerous
sport where accidents can happen even when
you take care of every safety instruction pres-
cribed.
We recommend you to wear an approoved bi-
cycle helmet that fits well. Protect yourself by
wearing special sports clothing that fits tight
and is reflective. If you're wearing wide pants
use clips to protect them from getting caught
in the chain - or use an old fashioned method
and put the pants in your sockets.
When you fall with a recumbent you usually
land on the side of your hips and your hands.
Wearing reinforced cycling shorts and gloves
reduces the danger of skin injuries considerab-
ly.
Use clipless pedals
The pedals of your Street Machine GT can be
upgraded on demand with a binding system.As
soon as you are comfortable with riding your
Street Machine GT you should use those cle-
atless pedals. Due to the rigid connection bet-
ween shoe and pedal you don't have to keep
your foot on the pedals with pressure anymo-
re.This enables a more relaxed and round pe-
daling movement where you may even pull a
little on the pedals.Without this connection to
the pedals your feet may come off suddenly
which may result in a fall. Modern system pe-
dals with binding therefore contribute to safe
riding.
At first you will have to practice with these
pedals to make sure that you can get off quik-
kly in a dangerous situation. Please read the
manual of the pedal manufacturer that comes
with this manual and have your dealer explain
the use of the pedals to you. In the beginning
set the release force of the binding to a low
value to make sure you can get off safely.
Please use exclusively the original shoe plates
from the manufacturer of the pedals, do not
use any other brand. If you're using shoe plates
that are not authorized the binding system
won't work properly.
