Mis-use of the braking system,
including over-use of the front brake,
can cause you to lose control and
fall. Avoid improper braking by
understanding and practicing proper
application of your brakes as
explained in this manual.
Contact between your foot or toe-clip
and the front wheel or fender can
cause you to lose control and fall.
Avoid pedaling when turning at slow
speed.
A shimmy, or steering wobble, can
cause you to lose control and fall. If
you experience a shimmy, slow down
immediately. Take your bicycle to
your dealer for inspection and repair.
7. KNOW HOW THE BICYCLE PERFORMS
The features of your bicycle, if misused, may cause you to lose
control of the bike. Before riding fast or in more difficult conditions,
learn the function and performance of all the mechanisms of your
bike by riding at slower speeds in a flat, empty parking lot.
If you want your bicycle to perform differently, or if you have special
needs that require different parts for the safe operation of your bike,
consult your bicycle dealer.
Learn the power of your brakes
The stopping power on bikes varies according to the intended use of the bike. If you would like your bike to
have more, or less, stopping power, consult your dealer about brake adjustments or other brake options for
your bicycle.
Avoid toe-clip overlap
When riding slowly, do not pedal if the handlebar is turned. It may be possible, at very slow speeds, when
the handlebar is turned, for your foot or toe-clips to contact the front wheel or fender (Figure 1). At normal
riding speeds, the handlebar does not turn enough for this to occur.

Stop riding if you have frame problems.
Occasionally riders experience problems with their frame or fork.
If a frame or fork has any problem, do not ride the bicycle.
As an example, in very rare cases, some riders may experience
a “shimmy” or “harmonic oscillation” or “frame vibration” at
certain speeds. If you are experiencing a shimmy, slow down
immediately. Take your bicycle directly to a dealer for inspection
and repair.
