CANNONDALE EASY RIDER CABLE ROUTING

Thanks for purchasing the most sophisticated, comfortable and well crafted Mid
Wheelbase (MWB) recumbent. 

Please take the time to read and understand this Owners Manual supplement,
the Cannondale Bicycle Owners Manual and any other literature included with
the bike. All contain important safety warnings and performance tips. If you
have any questions about your bicycle or the content of any of this literature
please contact Cannondale. 

Your Easy Rider should have included 

both

a standard owner’s manual and this

supplement. If you did not receive both of these documents, please download
and print one from the Cannondale website Tech Center or call our customer
service line at 1-800-BIKE-USA in the U.S. or Canada to have one sent to you.
See the back page for other phone numbers and e-mail contacts.

WARNING: 

WARNING: 

A Recumbent bicycle is different from a

conventional bicycle. To help avoid serious or fatal injury and
to minimize risk you must learn and practice new skills. Before
riding, read this Recumbent Owners Manual Supplement, and
learn and practice the skills described below. 

Note that a manual alone cannot teach you how to ride, and
a manual the size of an encyclopedia could not cover every
combination of bicycle, rider and conditions. Thus, as a
reasonable person would expect, our manuals focus on the
bicycle and important cautions and warnings, not on
teaching you how to ride. 

Many hazards are described in
the warnings, and we have
attempted to explain how to
avoid or minimize the hazards.
Because any fall or crash can
result in serious injury or even
death we do not repeat the
warning of these potential
consequences every time we call
attention to a hazard. The reality
is that the exact nature of the
consequences is not predictable.
