GT Bicycle Owner’s Manual
2.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 a couple of
dollars in cash for a candy bar, 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.
