RULES OF THE ROAD/SAFETY TIPS
WARNING:
Bikes under 20” are not intended for use on roads.
1. IN THE INTEREST OF SAFER CYCLING, MAKE SURE YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL.
NOTE AND PERFORM PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECKS.
2. NOTICE:
Some state and local laws may require that your bicycle be equipped with a warning device such as a horn or
bell and a light if the bicycle is to be ridden after dark.
3. ALWAYS WEAR SHOES
when riding a bicycle and
AVOID LOOSE FITTING CLOTHES.
4. CHECK YOUR BRAKES FREQUENTLY. THE ABILITY TO STOP YOUR BICYCLE IS CRITICAL.
Roads are slippery when
wet so avoid sharp turns and allow more distance stopping. Caliper brakes may become less efficient when wet. Leaves,
loose gravel, and other debris can also affect stopping.
5. ALWAYS RIDE IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS TRAFFIC.
Never ride against traffic.
6. STOP AND LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAVE AN ALLEY, DRIVEWAY, OR PARKING LOT.
Stop, look to the left, to the right, and
to the left again for traffic. Ride only when it is clear.
7. KEEP TO THE RIGHT.
Follow the traffic flow in a straight line and stay close to the curb. Watch for cars moving in and out
of traffic.
8. OBEY ALL TRAFFIC LAWS REGULATIONS.
Most traffic regulations apply to bike riders as well as automobile operators.
9. ALWAYS RIDE ALONE. NEVER CARRY OTHER RIDERS.
This is dangerous and makes the bike harder to control. The
bicycles distributed by Dynacraft BSC, Inc. are intended for one rider only.
