Residual risks
Unavoidably, certain residual risks will remain when using the– bike
– despite a well-calculated design by the manufacturer and compliance with the specifica-
tions for proper use by the user.
You yourself can reduce, but not completely eliminate, these residual risks by observing all
safety notices and warnings. It is therefore important that you are aware of the existence of
residual risks when using the bike.
The unpredictable residual risks when using the bike described here may include:
• Unpredictable cycling manoeuvres and/or misconduct on the part of other road users;
• Distraction from the road traffic;
• Misjudging the road-holding capability and speed of the bike as well as your own riding
skills, for example;
• Surprising or sudden changes in road characteristics such as black ice;
• Unexpected material defects or signs of wear that can lead to components of the Bike
breaking or being impaired in their function.
