7F. Rules of the Road.
Wear a helmet. Wear shoes.
Become aware of and learn your local bicycle laws and regulations.
Most states and communities have rules regarding helmet use,
bicycle licensing, riding on sidewalks, grinding and so on. It is the
responsibility of parents to make sure their children know and obey
all rules and regulations.
The Scream Machine is intended for sidewalk and playground use.
You must share this space with others including, pedestrians,
skaters and other players. Respect their rights!
Ride defensive. Assume that pedestrians, skaters and other players
are so absorbed in their own world that they are not paying any
attention to you and that they will run you down or step out in front
of you, all without any warning.
Watch for obstacles such as pot holes, sewer grates, expansion
cracks, and road or construction debris (such as nails or other
foreign objects) that could catch your wheel or force you to swerve
into traffic or lose control.
Stop at all stop signs and lights.
Never ride with headphones or use a cell phone when riding.
Never carry a passenger.
Never hitch a ride with another vehicle.
Do not weave into traffic or make sudden turns.
Observe and yield the right-of-way as prescribed by local traffic
rules.
Riding the Scream Machine may be a hazardous activity and has
inherent dangers that no amount of care, caution, instruction or
expertise can eliminate. Certain conditions may cause the equipment to
fail without fault of the manufacturer. Activities involving the use of
bicycles carry the risk of injury or death.
