9. Never carry a child passenger unless the ChildPod® is attached to the front
in Carrier Bicycle Mode or at the rear in Trailer Mode. Make sure the child is
wearing an approved helmet and is secured with the Restraint Harness.
10. Never carry anything which obstructs your vision or your complete control
of the bicycle, or which could become entangled in the moving parts of the
bicycle.
11. Never hitch a ride by holding on to another vehicle.
12. Don’t do stunts, wheelies or jumps.
13. Don’t weave through traffi c or make any moves that may surprise people with
whom you are sharing the road.
14. Observe and yield the right of way.
15. Never ride your bicycle while under the infl uence of alcohol or drugs.
16. If possible, avoid riding in bad weather, when visibility is obscured, at
dawn, dusk or in the dark, or when extremely tired. Each of these conditions
increases the risk of accident.
2.3 Wet Weather Riding
WARNING: Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility, both
for the bicyclist and for other vehicles sharing the road. The risk of an
accident is dramatically increased in wet conditions.
Under wet conditions, the stopping power of your brakes (as well as the brakes of
other vehicles sharing the road) is dramatically reduced and your tires don’t grip
nearly as well. This makes it harder to control speed and easier to lose control. To
make sure that you can slow down and stop safely in wet conditions, ride more
slowly and apply your brakes earlier and more gradually than you would under
normal, dry conditions. See also Section 4.3.
2.4 Night Riding
Riding a bicycle at night is much more dangerous than riding during the day. A
bicyclist is very diffi cult for motorists and pedestrians to see. Therefore, children
should never ride at dawn, at dusk or at night. Adults who chose to accept the
greatly increased risk of riding at dawn, at dusk or at night need to take extra care
both riding and choosing specialized equipment which helps reduce that risk.
Consult a bicycle dealer about night riding safety equipment.
