Respect the traffic regulations. Don’t lend your bicycle to anyone who is
unfamiliar with it. The bicycle can be legally only used on the road by a
person aged 14 years or over.
Wear a bike helmet (on your head). If you are unfamiliar with cycling, we’d
also recommend that you take a cycle proficiency course before using it, or
get some advice from your local ONYA dealer. Your F-19 is a serious
transport vehicle.
As with all bicycles, it is important to respect safe speed limits. If you feel
you are traveling too quickly for the road conditions, then slow down. High
speed will increase forces in the case of an accident and likely compound
further the risk of injury.
Test the brakes each time before you use your bike. Remember that your
brakes will not perform as effectively in wet or icy conditions compared to
riding on dry road.
Check tyres, rims, pedals, steering stem, cables, chain etc for general
condition, regularly.
Visibility while riding is vital at all times. Be aware that it’s particularly
difficult for motorists and pedestrians to see cyclists at dusk, night, fog, or
rainy conditions. If you must ride in such conditions that you take necessary
precautions and follow the rules of the road.
Suggestions for additional precautions are:
- wearing reflective clothing, or arm/foot bands
- equipping your bike with additional reflectors (front and/or rear)
- riding at speeds that are appropriate to the condition
