Info:
Ride very carefully in wet conditions. The braking distance
increases if the road is slippery. Under wet conditions, the
braking distance is two or three times as long. Adjust your
manner of driving to the changed conditions. Ride slower and
apply the brakes early.
Switch the lights on under unfavourable conditions of visibility
such as fog, rain, twilight and darkness.
If you leave the public roads, drive only on lanes and never on
open ground. Adjust your speed according to your riding abilities.
Wear tight fitting trousers or use trouser clamps. Wear a helmet
for your own safety. Bright, conspicuous clothing is better seen
under bad visibility conditions.
Do not ride with your hands off the handle bar –
risk of accident and fall.
Before the first start-up
Specifications
Brakes:
A cycle must have at least two brakes that function
independently of each other.
Bell:
A clear sounding bell is mandatory.
Lights:
Both bulbs must function simultaneously. The centre
of the light beam of the front bulb should fall on the road at
a maximum of 10 m ahead of the cycle. The rear light must be
mounted at a height of minimum 25 cm above the road surface.
Reflectors:
A white reflector with a large surface area at the
front that can be combined with the headlight. In the rear, at
least one red reflector should be installed. Optionally, the rear
light can be combined with a spot light. Two yellow pedal
reflectors per pedal – one towards the front and one to the
rear! A parking light or a battery light can be installed
additionally.
Special rules for sports cycles
The following special rules are applicable for racing and mountain
bikes: Headlights and taillights can be battery-operated. They
need not be mounted permanently on the cycle, but must be
used when the light conditions so demand. Nevertheless, sports
bicycles must have reflectors. The provisions are not applicable
to official tournaments, provided these take place on cordoned
off roads.
Warning Note:
Carry out repairs, servicing or
adjustments on your bicycle only if you have the
requisite knowledge and tools! For your safety,
please assign all repair jobs on your bicycle to a
specialized workshop or to the Service Department
in case of doubt. Components that are bent or
damaged due to accidents or improper handling
must be replaced immediately to avoid the risk of
breakage – e.g., frame, fork, handle bar, handle
bar stem, seat support, pedals or crank arms.
