Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume the responsibility for
that risk, so you need to know—and to practice—the rules of safe and responsible riding and of proper uses and maintenance.
Proper use and maintenance of your bicycle reduces risk of injury. Your bicycle is designed for use by persons 16 years old
and above.
Riders must have the physical coordination, reaction time and mental capability to ride and manage traffic, road conditions,
sudden situations and also respect the laws governing bicycle use where they ride, regardless of age.
If you have an impairment or disability such as a visual impairment, hearing impairment, physical impairment, cognitive/lan-
guage impairment, or a seizure disorder, consult your physician before riding any bicycle.
General precautions
Note on Helmets
Make sure that you always wear an approved bicycle helmet when riding; but also make sure that you understand that a
bicycle helmet is for bicycling only, and must be removed when not riding. A helmet must not be worn while playing, in play
areas, on playground equipment, while climbing trees, or at any time while not riding a bicycle. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious injury or death. Do not let a child younger than 16 years old ride the bicycle.
Additional notes for parents
As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safety of your child, and that includes making sure that the
bicycle is properly fitted to the child; that it is in good and safe operating condition; that you and your child understand the safe
operation of the bicycle; and that you and your child have learned, understand and obey vehicle, bicycle and traffic laws, but
also the common sense rules of safe and responsible bicycling. As a parent, you should read this manual, as well as review
its warnings and the bicycle functions and operating procedures.
