BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Just a minute each time before you ride, make a habit of
performing the following safety checks.
●Stand in front of the bicycle facing rearward and hold the front
wheel securely between your legs. Try to twist the handlebar and
verify that they do not move. Then pull the handlebars up, trying to
lift the bike. There should be no movement of these components.
● Try to push the front wheel from side to side in the fork and
confirm that it feels tight and will not wobble. Lift the front wheel up
by the handlebars and strike the wheel downward with the heel of
your hand and confirm that it is tight. Spin the front wheel and
confirm that it does not wobble or contact the fork or brake pads.
●Try to lift, push down on and twist the seat to confirm that it is
tight.
● Look at the connection of the pedals to the crank arm. You
should see no pedal screw threads and the pedal should feel firm
and be parallel to the ground.
●Apply your brake(s) and make sure that they feel firm to the touch,
and then spin the wheel(s). Apply the brakes. They should stop the
wheel(s).
●Check to be sure that fenders and accessories are firmly attached
and will not contact any moving parts. Make sure all reflectors are in
position and not broken.
●Check to be sure all bearings are lubricated, run freely and display
no excess movement, grinding or rattling.
● Check to be sure the tires are properly inflated within the
recommended pressures displayed on the tires sidewall.And have
the proper amount of tread, no bulges or excessive wear.
● Make sure the saddle and handle bar are adjust to the proper
height of your personal need.
