WARNING: Failure of the rider to obey the following “Rules of the Road”
can result in injury to the rider or to others.
• Obey all traffic regulations, signs, and signals.
• Always wear a bicycle helmet that meets safety standards, as well as local
safety standards.
• Ride on the correct side of the road, in a single file, and in a straight line.
• If possible, avoid riding at night, dusk, dawn and any other time of poor
visibility.
• If you must ride at night or at time of poor visibility:
• Purchase, install, and use a headlight and taillight.
• Headlights are required by all states for nighttime riding and taillights
are required in some states.
• Battery-powered lights or flashing safety lights are also recommended.
• Make sure the reflectors of your bicycle are correctly positioned. Do not
remove the reflector or replace the reflectors with lighted devices that
look similar to reflectors.
• Make yourself more visible to motorists.
• Wear light-colored or reflective clothing, such as a reflective vest and
reflective bands for your arms and legs.
• Use reflective tape on your helmet.

The Owner’s Responsibility
WARNING: This bicycle is made to be ridden by one rider at a time for
general transportation and recreational use. It is not made to withstand the
abuse of stunting and jumping.
If the bicycle was purchased unassembled, it is the owner’s responsibility to fol-
low all assembly and adjustment instructions exactly as written in this manual,
and any “Special Instructions” supplied and to make sure all fasteners and
components are securely tightened.
NOTE: Periodically check that all fasteners and components are securely
tightened.
If the bicycle was purchased assembled, it is the owner’s responsibility, before
riding the bicycle for the first time, to make sure the bicycle has been assem-
bled and adjusted exactly as written in this manual, and any “Special Instruc-
tions” supplied and to make sure all fasteners and components are securely
tightened. NOTE:
If product is assembled, please proceed to pages 15 and 17: Testing
Stem, Handlebar and Seat Clamp tightness.
• Do not let anything cover the reflectors.
• Use extra caution in wet weather:
• Ride slowly on damp surfaces because the tires will slide more easily.
• Avoid these hazards to prevent loss of control or damage to your
wheels:
• Be aware of drain grates, soft road edges, gravel or sand, pot holes or
ruts, wet leaves, or uneven paving.
• Cross railroad tracks at a right angle to prevent the loss of control.
• Avoid unsafe actions while riding.
• Do not carry any passengers.
• Do not carry any items or attach anything to your bicycle that could
hinder your vision, hearing, or control.
• Do not ride with both hands off the handlebar.
