Before you set off, let us point out a few things that are very important to every
cyclist: Never ride without a properly adjusted helmet and without glasses and take
care to always wear suitable, bright clothing. At least you should wear straight cut
trousers or leg bands and sturdy shoes fitting the pedal system. Always ride care-
fully on public roads and observe the traffic rules so as not to endanger yourself
or others.
This manual cannot teach you how to ride. Be aware that cycling is a poten-
tially dangerous activity that requires the rider to stay in control of his or her
STEVENS bicycle at all times.
Like any sport, cycling involves the risk of injury and damage. Keep this in
mind. When you decide to ride a STEVENS bicycle you need to accept the risk
inherent to cycling. Note that on a STEVENS bicycle you have no protection tech-
nology around you (e.g. bodywork, ABS or air bag) like you have in a car. Therefore,
always ride carefully and do respect the other traffic participants.
Never ride under the influence of drugs, medication, alcohol or when you are
tired. Be sure to never ride with a second person on your STEVENS bicycle (except
on a STEVENS tandem) and always ride with your hands on the handlebar.
Observe the legal regulations concerning off-road cycling. These regulations
may differ in each country. Respect nature when riding through the forest and in
the open countryside. Ride on signposted and paved paths as well as on roads with
and smooth surfaces only.
