StreetStrider
is equipped with correctly positioned and securely mounted reflectors.
Purchase and install adequate battery or generator powered front and rear lights.

reflective stripes on your helmet and flashing lights.
Any moving or flashing reflective device or light source will help get the attention of approaching motorists,
pedestrians and other traffic.

StreetStrider
does not obstruct a reflector or light
Stride slowly and avoid areas of heavy traffic, dark areas, and roads with speed limit over 35 mph. Avoid road

WARNING:
StreetStriding
under poor visibility conditions without reflectors or a lighting system that meets local and state laws
can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING:
Many states require specific safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the states
where you stride and to comply with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself and your
StreetStrider
as the
law requires.
Helmets
While not all states require bicyclists to wear approved protective headgear, common sense dictates that you should wear a
CPSC-approved or other helmet whether the law requires it or not. Most serious vehicular injuries involve head injuries that
might have been avoided if the rider had worn a helmet. To do a proper job, your helmet must fit correctly, be worn correctly
and be properly secured.
WARNING:
Always wear a helmet when riding your
StreetStrider
. Always keep the chinstrap securely buckled. Failure to wear an
approved helmet may result in serious injury or death.
