E.  Night Riding

  Riding a bicycle at night is 

much

 more dangerous than riding during the day. A 

bicyclist is very difficult for motorists and pedestrians to see. Therefore, children 
should never ride at dawn, at dusk or at night.  Adults who chose to accept the 
greatly increased risk of riding at dawn, at dusk or at night need to take extra 
care both riding and choosing specialized equipment which helps reduce that 
risk. Consult your dealer about night riding safety equipment.

 

  WARNING: Reflectors are not a substitute for required lights. Riding 

at dawn, at dusk, at night or at other times of poor visibility without 
an adequate bicycle lighting system and without reflectors is 

dangerous and may result in serious injury or death.

  Bicycle reflectors are designed to pick up and reflect car lights and street lights 
in a way that may help you to be seen and recognized as a moving bicyclist.  

   CAUTION: Check reflectors and their mounting brackets regularly to 

make sure that they are clean, straight, unbroken and securely 
mounted.  Have your dealer replace damaged reflectors and 

straighten or tighten any that are bent or loose.

  The mounting brackets of front and rear reflectors are often designed as brake 
straddle cable safety catches which prevent the straddle cable from catching on 
the tire tread if the cable jumps out of its yoke or breaks.

   WARNING: Do not remove the front or rear reflectors or reflector 

brackets from your bicycle. They are an integral part of the bicycle’s 
safety system. 

  Removing the reflectors reduces

 

your visibility to others using the 

roadway. Being struck by other vehicles may result in serious injury or 
death. 
  The reflector brackets may protect you from a brake straddle cable 
catching on the tire in the event of brake cable failure. If a brake straddle 
cable catches on the tire, it can cause the wheel to stop suddenly, causing 
you to loose control and fall.

  If you choose to ride under conditions of poor visibility, check and be sure 
you comply with all local laws about night riding, and take the following strongly 
recommended additional precautions:
  • Purchase and install battery or generator powered head and tail lights which 
meet all regulatory requirements and provide adequate visibility.
  • Wear light colored, reflective clothing and accessories, such as a reflective 
vest, reflective arm and leg bands, reflective stripes on your helmet, flashing 
lights attached to your body and/or your bicycle ... any reflective device or light 
source that moves will help you get the attention of approaching motorists, 
pedestrians and other traffic.
  • Make sure your clothing or anything you may be carrying on the bicycle does 
not obstruct a reflector or light.
  • Make sure that your bicycle is equipped with correctly positioned and 
securely mounted reflectors.

  15. Never ride your bicycle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  16. If possible, avoid riding in bad weather, when visibility is obscured, at 
dawn, dusk or in the dark, or when extremely tired. Each of these conditions 
increases the risk of accident. 

C.  Off Road Safety

   We recommend that children not ride on rough terrain unless they are 
accompanied by an adult. 
  1. The variable conditions and hazards of off-road riding require close attention 
and specific skills. Start slowly on easier terrain and build up your skills. If your 
bike has suspension, the increased speed you may develop also increases your 
risk of losing control and falling. Get to know how to handle your bike safely 
before trying increased speed or more difficult terrain.
  2. Wear safety gear appropriate to the kind of riding you plan to do.
  3. Don’t ride alone in remote areas. Even when riding with others, make sure 
that someone knows where you’re going and when you expect to be back.
  4. Always take along some kind of identification, so that people know who you 
are in case of an accident; and take along some cash for food, a cool drink or an 
emergency phone call.
  5. Yield right of way to pedestrians and animals. Ride in a way that does not 
frighten or endanger them, and give them enough room so that their unexpected 
moves don’t endanger you.
  6. Be prepared. If something goes wrong while you’re riding off-road, help may 
not be close.  
  7. Before you attempt to jump, do stunt riding or race with your bike, read and 
understand Section 2.F.

Off Road respect

  Obey the local laws regulating where and how you can ride off-road, and 
respect private property. You may be sharing the trail with others — hikers, 
equestrians, other cyclists. Respect their rights. Stay on the designated trail. 
Don’t contribute to erosion by riding in mud or with unnecessary sliding. Don’t 
disturb the ecosystem by cutting your own trail or shortcut through vegetation 
or streams. It is your responsibility to minimize your impact on the environment. 
Leave things as you found them; and always take out everything you brought in.

D.  Wet Weather Riding

   

WARNING: Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility, both 

for the bicyclist and for other vehicles sharing the road. The risk of an 
accident is dramatically increased in wet conditions.

 
  Under wet conditions, the stopping power of your brakes (as well as the 
brakes of other vehicles sharing the road) is dramatically reduced and your tires 
don’t grip nearly as well. This makes it harder to control speed and easier to lose 
control. To make sure that you can slow down and stop safely in wet conditions, 
ride more slowly and apply your brakes earlier and more gradually than you 
would under normal, dry conditions.  See also Section 4.C.
