12. REFLECTORS

Reflectors are pre-installed on your bicycle on the pedals, wheels, seatpost, and handlebars. Ensure that the handlebar
reflector is pointing straight forward. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen and adjust before re-tightening. Position the
rear reflector so that it points straight backwards.
