CAUTION
A bicycle that does not work properly can cause you to lose control and fall. Inspect the entire bicycle thoroughly before
every ride, and do not ride it until any problem has been corrected. Check that the wheels are straight. Spin each wheel
and watch the rim as it passes through the brake pads or the frame. If the rim wobbles up and down or from side to side,
repair the wheel.
