Getting Ready to Ride
Wear appropriate clothing
To protect yourself from injury, always wear appropriate clothing and equipment
when riding a bike: an Australian standards-approved helmet, elbow pads, knee
pads, long sleeve shirt, gloves, long pants. Always wear fully enclosed shoes.
Make sure your shoe laces or buckles are done up properly before riding. You must
not ride barefoot or in sandals.
Check the bike before every use
–
Tighten the handlebars and stem
—the screws must all be tightened securely.
– Check the saddle
—the minimum insertion line must be inside the frame, the
seat clamp securely tightened and the seat at the proper height.
– Check the tyres
—they must be inflated to the appropriate pressure: 23-50 psi
(1 psi = 6.895 kPa). The tyres should feel very firm, but not hard when squeezed
between your thumb and fingers. For the average rider, the ideal tyre pressure will
be approximately 30 psi, but this will depend on a range of factors, including the
rider's preferences and the terrain.
– Check the brakes
—test them before you ride. Inspect and replace the brake
pad as required.
– Check the chain
—ensure it is correctly routed. Clean and relubricate the chain
when required. Replace chain when required.
WARNING:
Failure to perform these checks could result in serious injury to
yourself and others.
Follow the road rules
Make sure your bike is equipped with the appropriate warning devices (horn, bell,
light) required by your state and local traffic laws
When you are riding on the road, make sure that you are always visible to other
vehicles. Please respect the road rules in all circumstances.
WARNING:
Failure to follow these warnings could result in a fall or accident and
permanently and irreversibly damage the condition of the bike.
Enjoy your ride!
