ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual was written to help you get the most performance, comfort, enjoyment and safety when riding your new bicycle. It is important for you to understand your new
bike. By reading this manual before you go out on your first ride, you'll know how to get the most from your new bicycle. It is also important that your first ride on your new
bicycle is taken in a controlled environment, away from cars, obstacles, and other cyclists.
GENERAL WARNING
Bicycle riding can be a hazardous activity even under the best of circumstances. Proper maintenance of your bicycle is your responsibility as it helps reduce the risk of injury.
This manual contains many "WARNINGS" and "CAUTIONS"concerning the consequences of failure to maintain or inspect your bicycle. Many of the warnings and cautions say,
"you may lose control and fall." Because any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible injury or death whenever the risk of falling
is mentioned. California does not encourage stunting, trick riding, ramp riding, jumping, aggressive riding, riding on severe terrain, riding in severe climates, riding with heavy
loads, riding double, commercial activities; such use is inherently dangerous, can cause serious injury to the rider, and if done it is with the rider's express and implied
assumption of the risk of such use and California shall not have any responsibility for any breakdown of the bicycle, its components or rider injuries that occur during such use.
NOTE TO PARENTS
It is a tragic fact that most bicycle accidents involve children. As a parent or guardian, you bear the responsibility for the activities and safety of your minor child. Among these
responsibilities are to make sure that the bicycle that your child is riding is properly fitted to the child; that it is in good repair and safe operating condition; that the play of
young children is supervised by an adult; that you and your child have learned, understand and obey not only the applicable local motor vehicle, bicycle and traffic laws, but
also the common sense rules of safe and responsible bicycling. As a parent, you should read this manual before letting your child ride the bicycle. Please make sure that
your child always wears an approved bicycle helmet when riding.
