THINGS TO KNOW
CYCLEKIDS LIFE MANUAL
AS WITH ALL MECHANICAL COMPONENTS, THE BICYCLE IS SUBJECTED TO WEAR AND HIGH
STRESSES. DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS MAY REACT TO WEAR OR STRESS
FATIGUE IN DIFFERENT WAYS. IF THE DESIGN LIFE OF A COMPONENT HAS BEEN EXCEEDED,
IT MAY SUDDENLY FAIL, POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURIES TO THE RIDER. ANY FORM OF CRACK,
SCRATCHES OR CHANGE OF COLORING IN HIGHLY STRESSED AREAS INDICATE THAT THE
LIFE OF THE COMPONENT HAS BEEN REACHED AND SHOULD BE REPLACED.
CHECK YOUR BRAKES FREQUENTLY.
THE ABILITY TO STOP IS CRITICAL.
LEAVES, LOOSE GRAVEL AND OTHER
DEBRIC ON THE ROAD CAN ALSO
AFFECT STOPPING DISTANCE. IF AT

WEATHER. VISION AND CONTROL ARE
IMPAIRED, CREATING A GREATER RISK
OF ACCIDENTS AND INJURY.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND RIDING YOUR BIKE AT NIGHT. IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY THAT
REQUIRES YOU TO RIDE AT NIGHT YOU MUST HAVE PROPER LIGHTS AND REFLECTORS.
NEVER RIDE AT NIGHT WITHOUT A HELMET, TAILLIGHT, A WHITE FRONT REFLECTOR, A RED
REAR REFLECTOR, PEDAL REFLECTORS AND WHITE WHEEL REFLECTORS. YOU UST BE ABLE
TO CLEARLY SEE THE SURFACE WHERE YOU ARE RIDING AND BE SEEN BY OTHERS.
STOP!
