8. USER SECURITY
HELMET USE
Always use the helmet. Make sure that it complies with CE regulations or
equivalent regulations.
Always use specific protective gloves for the use of bicycles or mountain bikes.
In sporting use or in competitions use specific gloves for mountain biking or motocross.
We recommend the use of specific clothing and footwear for use on mountain bikes.
In advanced sports use and in competition with strong descents, we recommend the
use of chest, back, elbows and knee protectors.
SUSPENSIONS ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the suspensions according to the conditions of the route. An incorrect adjustment
can cause you to strain your pedaling and even accident.
KNOW THE LOCAL REGULATIONS ON THE CIRCULATION OF BIKES
The JEB19 bicycle is designed for the practice of mountain biking, but it can be used
on public roads. Most states have specific regulations for cyclists. In cycling clubs,
federations, town halls or the Department of Transportation (or equivalent) in your area,
they should be able to give you information about it.
Some of the most important rules on public roads are:
- Use appropriate manual signals.
- When traveling with more cyclists, form a single line.
- Go on the right side of the road, never in the opposite direction.
- Wait for the unexpected and roll with a defensive attitude. A cyclist is difficult to see,
and many drivers are not used to recognizing the rights of cyclists.
DO NOT PERFORM UNSAFE ACTIONS WITH THE BICYCLE
In the mountains, use the bicycle according to your level of skill. Progress appropriately
in improving your driving level.
Many bicycle accidents on public roads could be avoided using common sense:
- Do not drive “without hands”: the smallest imperfection on the road can cause a
sudden vibration or rotation of the front wheel.
