3 - SAFETY AND USAGE
When you acquire your Lapierre bike, it has already been assembled and carefully inspected by one of our authorized dealers. After an
initial testing period (4-5 rides), we recommend a visit to your authorized Lapierre dealer for any final adjustments to your bike. They
will have the specific tools as well as the information and skills necessary to perform the more complicated adjustments. If, however,
you prefer to perform these various adjustments yourself, you will find helpful advice in this manual.
As with all sports, cycling can involve a number of potentially fatal risks. By taking part in this activity, you are assuming these risks.
It is therefore important to know and apply the rules of responsible riding and to properly maintain your bicycle, for your safety and
the safety of others. Wearing the proper equipment, such as a helmet, protective eyewear, and gloves, is also strongly recommended.
• Always double check your bike before riding it (tighten the handlebars and stem, check the saddle, wheels, and brakes, etc.). It
is strongly recommended to establish and respect a periodic maintenance schedule, which will be determined by the frequency and
length of your rides, your style of riding, as well as the terrain on which you most often ride. Your Lapierre authorized dealer can help
you determine your specific needs.
• When you are riding on the road, make sure that you are always visible to other vehicles by using reflective products (clothing,
reflectors, etc.) and the proper lighting if necessary. Respect the rules of the road in all circumstances.
• Never overestimate your abilities, especially in more aggressive styles of riding. Proper training and skill development can
reduce many risks.
• When you are riding on public roads, always respect the code of conduct and the local bicycle riding laws.
For an optimal performance, certain settings will need to be adjusted on your bike before your first ride. This will assure a safe and
comfortable ride.
