If you notice that the frame or fork has any visible damage, cracks, dents, or you hear any unusual noises while
riding or other problems, do not ride your bike. If at any time you notice a shimmy or wobble immediately
slow down and take your bike to your local bike shop for inspection and/or repair. Carefully inspect your bike
before and after each ride. Certain types of impacts can affect the components of your bike and cause them to
fail unexpectedly. After any impact or crash, thoroughly inspect all the parts of your bike for damage. A crash
or other impact can put extraordinary stress on the bike. An impact or high force is any situation such as
hitting a hole or obstacle in the road, such as a bump or curb.
A BIKE IS A MECHANICAL DEVICE. MATERIALS AND MECHANISMS ARE SUBJECT TO FATIGUE AND STRESS
OVER TIME. COMPONENTS CAN FAIL ONCE THEY HAVE EXCEEDED THEIR USEFUL LIMITS AND LIFE. PRODUCT
LIFE IS OFTEN RELATED TO THE KIND OF TREATMENT AND RIDING YOU SUBMIT YOUR BIKE TO. HARD AND
AGGRESSIVE RIDING ALONG WITH NEGLECT WILL SHORTEN THE PROJECTED LIFESPAN OF YOUR BIKE AND
ITS COMPONENTS. IF NOT PROPERLY MAINTANIED, YOUR BIKE AND ITS COMPONENTS CAN FAIL CAUSING
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Night Riding and Poor Visibility
Riding at dawn, dusk, during poor visibility or night riding is extremely dangerous. Your reflectors are not a
substitute for required bike lights. Motorists and pedestrians may not be able to see a bicyclist during poor
visibility conditions. Consult your local bike shop for night riding equipment if you choose to accept the risk of
riding during these conditions.
RIDING A BICYCLE IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS WITHOUT PROPER LIGHTING AND REFLECTORS ATTACHED TO
YOUR BIKE IMPAIRS YOUR ABILITY TO SEE AND BE SEEN BY OTHER MOTORIST AND PEDESTRIANS. THIS
GREATLY INCREASES THE CHANCES OF BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH. USE A LIGHT ON THE FRONT AND REAR OF YOUR BIKE AND BE SURE ALL REFLECTORS
ARE IN PLACE BEFORE RIDING IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS.
Unsafe Riding
While not all accidents can be avoided the list below outlines a few examples of things that can decrease your
risk of serious injury or death.
- Pay attention and avoid distractions while riding
- Always maintain both hands on the handlebars
- Avoid bike stunts and/or aggressive riding
- When carrying gear make sure it is securely attached to your bike and/or rack
- Never strap or latch any item to your bike in an area not designed to carry gear
- Never carry a passenger while riding
- Avoid riding in mud, if possible, mud may cause loss of traction resulting in loss of control of your bike
