8 Misuse
In order to use your bicycle safely, avoid the following instances of misuse:
• Use of the bicycle for competitions, jumps, stunts or tricks if the bicycle category (clas-
sification for usage) excludes such use;
• Incorrect repairs and maintenance.
• Structural changes to the delivery condition of the bicycle.
INFORMATION
Misuse of the bicycle can lead to the warranty becoming void.
9 Residual risks
Unavoidably, certain residual risks will remain when using the bicycle – despite a well-cal-
culated design by the manufacturer and compliance with the specifications for proper use
on the part of the user.
You yourself can reduce, but not completely eliminate, these residual risks by observing all
safety notices and warnings. It is therefore important that you are aware that residual risks
exist when using the bicycle.
The unpredictable residual risks when using the bicycle described here include:
• Unpredictable cycling manoeuvres and/or misconduct on the part of other road users;
• Distraction from the road traffic;
• Misjudging the road-holding capability and speed of the bicycle as well as your own
riding skills, for example;
• Surprising or sudden changes in road characteristics such as freezing rain or black ice;
• Unexpected material defects or signs of wear that can lead to components of the
bicycle breaking or being impaired in their function.

reduce the general risk of accidents and injuries, you will expose yourself, and
possibly others, to an increased risk of serious injury.
»Only use your bicycle if you are familiar with handling it and its functions, and
always follow the instructions on the proper use of your bicycle.
»When using any approved special equipment or structures, please note that
doing so may alter how you handle your bicycle and adjust your cycling style
accordingly. When using recumbent or aero handlebars, access to the operating
elements may be restricted, for instance, and the stopping distance may be
longer than usual.
»Ride with foresight in order to recognise events early and to be able to react to
them.
»Always adapt your cycling style and speed to the current weather conditions
and road characteristics.
»Please note in particular that the braking distance can be longer and the tyres
have less grip on icy, wet, slippery or dirty roads.
»Pay attention to other road users and adopt a defensive cycling style.
»Always visually inspect your bicycle before using it. Make sure that your bicycle
or its components do not have any cracks, scoring, damage or colour changes.
»Make sure that safety-related devices on the bicycle (e.g. the brakes) are
correctly adjusted and functional.
»Never use your bicycle if safety-related components (e.g. the brakes) are
damaged or do not function properly.
»Under no circumstances should you arbitrarily exchange components on the
bicycle or make any changes or repairs to the bicycle or individual components.
Have any damage to the bicycle repaired by your specialist dealer and any
damaged components replaced only with suitable original spare parts.
»Contact your specialist dealer if you are unable to carry out work on the bicycle
described in the instructions yourself (e.g. making certain adjustments or similar
tasks), if you are unsure or if you do not have the correct tools.
»After an accident or fall or if your bicycle has been subjected to excessive loads,
contact your specialist dealer for a professional inspection of your bicycle.

SAFETY
20
CAUTION
Risk of injury when wearing unsuitable clothing!
Since moving parts of the bicycle are catching points for clothing, you can injure
yourself if you wear unsuitable clothing when using your bicycle.
»When cycling, wear tight-fitting legwear if possible instead of wide trousers,
dresses or skirts.
»Make sure that loose clothing cannot get caught in the moving parts of the
bicycle, for example, by using trouser clips.
»Make sure that no loose straps, laces or similar are hanging down.
»Wear shoes with non-slip soles to prevent your foot from slipping during
pedalling.

there is a risk that components may show signs of wear or break more quickly.
»Always observe the permitted total weight of the bicycle (including the cyclist
and any baggage). The permitted total weight must not be exceeded.
»Ensure that the tyre inflation pressure is set correctly and adjust it if necessary.
»Do not cycle through deep water unless such use is explicitly permitted according
to the proper use for your bicycle.
