The load(s) attached or placed on the
carrier off the Utility Bicycle have to be
securely fastened. Check that no edges
or parts of the load can get in contact
with moving parts of the bicycle.
Always make sure you have at least two
well-adjusted brakes. Under severe
loads (as when carrying a passenger or
cargo) at high speed a very strong front
brake can lead to failure of the front fork.
12.CARRYING LOADS WITH YOUR CARGO BICYCLE
Getting to know your Cargo Bicycle
Carrying a load and riding a long-wheelbase bike both require getting accustomed to. Practice maneuvering
and braking on a flat, hazard- and traffic-free street with and without a load before going out into the world.
Carrying a seated passenger or heavy load involves risks, foremost of which can be decreased braking power
and increased stopping distance. Always make sure you have at least two well-adjusted brakes. Drum,
roller, or coaster brakes are not suited to hilly riding or heavy loads and can fail under serious strain—when
you need them most! We strongly recommend rim and/or disc brakes, though these carry their own risks:
under severe loads (as when carrying a passenger or cargo at high speed a very strong front brake can lead to
failure of the front fork. For this reason, don't use the front brake by itself; the rear or rear and front brake
should be used in all braking situations.
Seating on the carrier seat
Standing, kneeling, or sitting backwards or sideways (both legs on the same side of the bike) on the carrier
seat while the bike is moving or stopped can easily result in broken limbs, loss of control of the bike,
destroyed rims, a destroyed bike frame, or worse.
Children
The user of this product acknowledges both an understanding and an assumption of the risks involved in
cycling, cycling with cargo, and cycling with a passenger. Children incapable of riding a bike on their own or
under the age of 6 should not ride on the Mundo Cargo Bicycle as passengers, unless it's equipped with an
approved Child Seat accessory. Children should not ride as passengers without an adult operating the Mundo
Cargo Bicycle.
Use good judgment
No warning is a substitute for good judgment. Use yours always. If
you have reason to suspect that your own judgment isn't great,
share your plans with somebody you respect, and ask for a second
opinion.
