7.0 Important safety instructions before your first tour
Make sure that you and your A2B are prepared for a safe and
pleasant ride.
ALWAYS wear an approved bicycle helmet.
If you lend your A2B
to some else, you should always lend an approved helmet, too.
NEVER transport another person on your A2B.
Overloading your
A2B by transporting another person may cause severe or even fatal
injuries.
FOLLOW all traffic rules.
Always ride on the correct side of the
road, in the direction of the traffic and not in the opposite direction.
Beware of vehicle doors.
Remember that doors of vehicles in front
of you might be opened.
Be very careful in wet weather.
When the road is wet, the braking
distance of your A2B might be twice or three times as long. Go
slower, prepare for stopping in time and to brake earlier. Wet roads
are slippery – be careful round bends and when turning.
Make sure that you are seen by others.
In dim lighting and in the
dark, you should wear light clothes, ideally with reflective stripes.
Remain attentive when cycling.
Watch out for driving and
standing vehicles.
