A Word on Safety
Bicycles are a lot of fun, but not free of hazards. Please
always ride safely!
• Always wear a helmet.
• Follow the rules of the road, and be courteous.
• Use front and rear lights after dark.
• Dress appropriately for the weather and the season, and
visability.
• Always carry a spare tube, patch kit, pump and a tool kit.
• Keep your bicycle in good shape.
• Check your tire pressure before every ride.
• Make sure all quick releases are secure!
• Have your bicycle routinely serviced for trouble-free travels.
Your Tools
All Bike Friday travel bicycles are delivered with a com-
bination 5/6mm S-wrench. This wrench should get your
new bike on the road (along with the provided pedal
wrench). Pack it with your tire repair kit so that you
always have it handy.
All bikes ordered with a TravelCase™suitcase also come with a
tool pouch. In the tool pouch you will nd some coon gloves to
keep your hands clean, a folding tool set, a pedal/axle nut wrench
(15mm), and a 4mm ball-end driver. The ball-end driver is perfect
for mounting bole cages, racks, and other accessories.
We encourage you to
learn how to work on
your own bike. If you
are not familiar with
bicycle maintenance,
consider taking a local
class. It will improve
your condence and
self-suciency as you
venture across the globe.
