Traffic safety
• Always wear a bike helmet.
• Follow local traffic regulations.
• Do not put anything on the bike that can get caught up and obstruct the
functions of the bike.
• Do not cycle on the same side as oncoming traffic.
• Do not cycle 2-deep
• Do not take anyone on the bike who is not equipped for this.
• Do not swerve out onto the road.
• Do not hang anything onto the handlebars that will make it difficult to steer or
that could get caught in the front wheel.
• Do not attach yourself to another vehicle.
• Do not cycle too close to the vehicle in front.
• Cycling in the rain or on a wet roadway:
– The effects of the brakes are reduced in water and ice
– Cycle more slowly in wet weather and brake earlier than you do in dry
weather.
• If you cycle in the dark, you must follow the applicable legislation:
– The bike must have a front light with a white beam and a rear light with
a red beam, in addition to the reflectors already on the bike.
– Preferably wear light clothing and a reflective vest or similar.
– Check that the bike’s reflectors are positioned correctly, properly secured,
clean and not obscured. Replace damaged reflectors immediately.
• Any shock absorbers on the bike should be maintained by a cycle repair shop.
See the shock-absorber manufacturer’s user instructions.
Owner’s responsibility
The user instructions describe how to cycle safely and keep the bike in good and
faultless condition.
• Read and follow the user instructions carefully. All major service work or
adjustments to the bike should be carried out by a bicycle mechanic. Follow
these instructions if you do not have access to a bicycle mechanic and would
like to carry out the adjustments yourself.
