Bicycle Reflectors
Bicycle reflectors are designed to pick up and
reflect street lights and car lights in a way that
may help you to be seen and recognized as a
moving bicyclist.
WARNING
Do not remove the front or rear reflectors or
reflector brackets from your bicycle. They are
an integral part of the bicycle’s safety system.
The location and type of each reflector on your
bike is required by a national authority, in the
US, the US Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC). Your bike have: 1. A front
mounted forward facing reflector 2. A rear
mounted, rear facing reflector, 3. A spoke
mounted reflector on each wheel, 4. Front and
rear facing reflectors on the left and right
pedal.
Check reflectors and their mounting brackets
regularly to make sure that they are clean,
straight, unbroken and securely mounted.
Have your dealer replace damaged reflectors
and straighten or tighten any that are bent or
loose.
Removing the reflectors may reduce your
visibility to others using the roadway.
Being struck by other vehicles may result in
serious injury or death.
