ROAD SAFETY
•
Always wear a bike helmet.
•
Follow local traffic regulations.
•
Do not put anything on the bike that can
get caught up and obstruct the functions of
the bike.
•
Do not ride on the same side as oncoming
traffic.
•
Do not ride alongside another bike.
•
Do not give rides on bikes not intended for
this.
•
Do not swing out into traffic.
•
Do not hang anything from the handlebars
that makes it difficult to steer, or which
could fasten in the front wheel.
•
Do not hang onto another vehicle.
•
Do not ride too close to a vehicle in front.
•
Cycling in the rain or on wet roads:
–
The braking power is reduced by water
and ice.
–
Cycle more slowly in wet weather and
brake earlier than in dry weather.
•
Follow local regulations when cycling in the
dark:
–
The bike must have a front lamp with
a white light and a back lamp with a
red light, in addition to the reflectors
already fitted on the bike.
–
Wear bright clothes and a high-
visibility jacket if possible.
–
Check that the bike's reflectors are
correctly positioned, properly
attached, clean and not obscured.
Replace damaged reflectors
immediately.
•
Any shock absorbers on the bike should be
serviced at a bike shop. See instructions
from shock absorber manufacturer.
By law a bike must always be fitted with brakes
and a bell. On public roads it is important to
take the following into consideration:
•
As a road user you are obliged to be
familiar with and to follow traffic
regulations.
•
We recommend that you always wear a
helmet when cycling. If you are under 15
and ride a two-wheeled bike you must by
law wear a bike helmet.
•
Never leave a child on the bike.
SERVICE
Only use identical spare parts when replacing
parts that are essential for safety. This will
guarantee that the bike remains safe to use.
We recommend that you have the bike serviced
every 6 months at a bike shop (more often
if you ride it a lot or put a lot of strain on it).
After adjusting, check that all screw unions
are correctly tightened and that the wires are
undamaged and correctly drawn along the
frame.
