2. SAFETY
Prior to your rst ride, make sure that you become familiar with all the controls and features of your new bike,
especially the brake performance and gears.
Always wear a helmet! Safety gear is also
available for knees, elbows, back, shoulders
and more. It is highly recommended.
Protective eyeware is also recommended.
Make sure you that you wear the appropriate
clothing that is bright and visible and not
too loose. Loose clothing can catch in
moving parts and cause you to lose control
and fall. Be sure you dress in accordance to
the weather conditions. Footwear should
be able to grip the pedals and not have
loose laces. Make sure you know all of the
local trac laws and obey them. Bicycles
are sharing the road with others and should
always assume you haven’t been seen and
exercise maximum caution, especially on
busy roads and around large vehicles. If you
are planning to ride o-road, conditions may
require extra attention and specic skills.
