A special note for parents:

 

  As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safety 
of your minor child, and that includes making sure that the bicycle is properly 
fitted to the child; that it is in good repair and safe operating condition; that you 
and your child have learned and understand the safe operation of the bicycle; 
and that you and your child have learned, understand and obey not only the 
applicable local motor vehicle, bicycle and traffic laws, but also the common 
sense rules of safe and responsible bicycling. As a parent, you should read this 
manual, as well as review its warnings and the bicycle’s functions and operating 
procedures with your child, before letting your child ride the bicycle. 

WARNING:  Make sure that your child always wears an approved 
bicycle helmet when riding; but also make sure that your child 
understands that a bicycle helmet is for bicycling only, and must be 

removed when not riding. A helmet must not be worn while playing, in play 
areas, on playground equipment, while climbing trees, or at any time while 
not riding a bicycle. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious 
injury or death.

1. First 

NOTE: We strongly urge you to read this Manual in its entirety before your first 
ride. At the very least, read and make sure that you understand each point in this 
section, and refer to the cited sections on any issue which you don’t completely 
understand. Please note that not all bicycles have all of the features described in 
this Manual. Ask your dealer to point out the features of your bicycle.

A.  Bike fit

 

1. Is your bike the right size? To check, see Section 3.A. If your bicycle is too 

large or too small for you, you may lose control and fall. If your new bike is not 
the right size, ask your dealer to exchange it before you ride it.
   2. Is the saddle at the right height? To check, see Section 3.B. If you adjust 
your saddle height, follow the Minimum Insertion instructions in Section 3.B.
  3. Are saddle and seat post securely clamped? A correctly tightened saddle will 
allow no saddle movement in any direction. See Section 3.B. 
  4. Are the stem and handlebars at the right height for you? If not, see Section 
3.C. 
  5. Can you comfortably operate the brakes? If not, you may be able to adjust 
their angle and reach. See Section 3.D and 3.E.
  6. Do you fully understand how to operate your new bicycle? If not, before your 
first ride, have your dealer explain any functions or features which you do not 
understand.

B.  Safety first

  1. Always wear an approved helmet when riding your bike, and follow the 
helmet manufacturer’s instructions for fit, use and care.
  2. Do you have all the other required and recommended safety equipment? 
See Section 2. It’s your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the 
areas where you ride, and to comply with all applicable laws. 
  3. Do you know how to correctly secure your front and rear wheels? Check 
Section 4.A.1 to make sure. Riding with an improperly secured wheel can cause 
the wheel to wobble or disengage from the bicycle, and cause serious injury or 
death. 
  4. If your bike has toeclips and straps or clipless (“step-in”) pedals, make 
sure you know how they work (see Section 4.E). These pedals require special 
techniques and skills. Follow the pedal manufacturer’s  instructions for use, 
adjustment and care. 
  5. Do you have “toe overlap”? On smaller framed bicycles your toe or toeclip 
may be able to contact the front wheel when a pedal is all the way forward 
and the wheel is turned. Read Section 4.E. to check whether you have toeclip 
overlap.
  6. Does your bike have suspension? If so, check Section 4.F. Suspension 
can change the way a bicycle performs. Follow the suspension manufacturer’s  
instructions for use, adjustment and care.

C. Mechanical Safety Check

  Routinely check the condition of your bicycle before every ride.
