A-bike User Manual
Riding Safely
When riding the A-bike it is important to remember to abide by
local bicycle riding laws.
Ride defensively and be vigilant of other road users. Always leave
a large enough gap between you and obstacles, slow down and
stop if necessary.
Watch out for uneven surfaces and pot holes.
When riding in the dark you should wear high visibility clothing and
use lights when appropriate.
Wet weather will reduce grip and increase stopping distances; ride
slower if necessary. Icy conditions should be avoided entirely.
Windy conditions can severely effect riding stability.
Always wear a helmet when riding.
Always wear suitable shoes. Sandals are not appropriate.
Avoid loose clothing and anything that may get caught in the
mechanisms of the bike.
Become familiar with riding your bike slowly and in a safe
environment before heading into areas with other traffic.
Store your bike securely and safely in a clean and dry area to
avoid damaging the bike.
If there are any broken parts, they must be replaced before riding.
