BEFORE RIDING
Just a minute spent before each ride can significantly improve your safety and the
enjoyment of your ride. So, EACH TIME before you ride make a habit of performing the
following safety checks:
• Try to lift/push down on and twist the seat to confirm it is tight.
• Look at the connection of the pedals to the crank arm. You should not see pedal
screw threads and the pedal should feel firm and be parallel to the ground.
Now, put on your BICYCLE SAFETY HELMET and enjoy your ride. Your safety is well worth
just a minute. Also, be sure to read and follow the warnings and instructions in this manual.
