•
Like any sport, cycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride you and
your child assume responsibility for that risk.
•
Never allow a young child to play with their bicycle unsupervised and keep very young
children and pets away from children who are riding.
•
If your child falls from the bike, always check the bike for damage before allowing them
to remount. If in any doubt, have it checked by a qualified person.
•
Be aware that braking performance and grip will be drastically reduced in wet or muddy
conditions. Watch out for slippery leaves in winter and loose gravel. Teach your child to
corner slowly in such conditions.
•
As parent/guardian you are responsible for the activities and safety of your child and
that includes making sure the bike is properly fitted to the child; that it is in a good state
of repair and safe operating condition; that you and your child learn and understand
the safe operation of the bike (in particular the braking system); and that you and your
child learn, understand and obey local motor vehicle, bicycle and traffic laws.
•
The disc brakes available on HÜTTO DISC and TRAIL are very powerful. Allow your
child to gradually test the brakes on a flat surface until they become accustomed to
the braking power, and teach them to moderate braking force, between front and rear
brakes.
