Mis-use of the braking system,
including over-use of the front
brake, can cause you to lose
control and fall. Avoid improper
braking by understanding and
practicing proper application of
your brakes as explained in this
manual.
Contact between your foot or
toe-clip and the front wheel or
fender can cause you to lose
control and fall. Avoid pedaling
when turning at slow speed.
Before a first ride
Make sure the bicycle fits
There should be at least 1” (25 mm) clearance between the top
tube and the rider when standing over the bicycle (Figure 1).
For mountain bikes, 2-3” (50-75 mm) clearance is
recommended.
The seat and handlebar may be adjusted to offer the best
comfort and performance. Before making these adjustments,
refer to Chapter 3.
Know how the bicycle performs
The features of your bicycle, if misused, may cause you to lose
control of the bike. Before riding fast or in more difficult
conditions, learn the function and performance of all the
mechanisms of your bike by riding at slower speeds in a flat,
empty parking lot.
If you want your bicycle to perform differently, or if you have special needs that require
different parts for the safe operation of your bike,
consult your bicycle dealer.
Learn the power of your brakes
The stopping power on bikes varies according to the
intended use of the bike. If you would like your bike to
have more, or less, stopping power, consult your
dealer about brake adjustments or other brake
options for your bicycle.
Avoid toe-clip overlap
When riding slowly, do not pedal if the handlebar is turned. It may be possible, at very
slow speeds, when the handlebar is turned, for your foot or toe-clips to contact the
front wheel or fender (Figure 2). At normal riding speeds, the handlebar does not turn
enough for this to occur.
