DANGER!
G
Make sure the child always wears a properly fitting cycling helmet and well visible,
i.e. bright, clothing. It is also advisable to wear reflector stripes to increase visibility.
CAUTION!
A
Make sure the cycling helmet complies with the EN 1078 test standard.
CAUTION!
A
Children can be vain. Therefore, buy a cycling helmet that the child feels happy
with. Take your child with you to make sure you buy one which is comfortable and
fits correctly. This will increase the chances that the helmet is actually worn, which one
day might be a life-saver. Make sure the helmet is always fastened!
CAUTION!
A
When you buy the helmet, have yourself explained how to adjust the straps of the
helmet to the head. Only a properly fitted helmet can provide full protection in case
of an accident!
ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the BERGAMONT kids’ bike to the bodily proportions of a child is even
more important than in the case of an adult. When determining the saddle height you
should find a compromise that allows the child to reach the ground with both feet
(f) when sitting in the saddle while at the same time giving them enough space for
pedalling. A safe standing (when stopping) takes absolute priority!
Handlebars that are too far away from the saddle or adjusted in a too high/low
position can also lead to the fact that the child is less confident and relaxed during
cycling. Normally, children’s bicycles allow adjustments of the saddle tilt and
sometimes the tilt of the handlebars can be adjusted, as well.
It is essential that your child has good control of his/her BERGAMONT kids’ bike
before riding on public roads. As a first step in this direction we recommend that you
give your child a scooter or a BERGAMONT walker (a), so that he/she can train his/
her sense of balance.
This being accomplished you will need to make your child familiar with the functioning
of the brakes and gears (b) before you let him/her sit on his/her BERGAMONT kids’
bike. Find a place away from the road, ideally a backyard or park, where you can
practise braking and shifting gears with your child under your supervision.
Once your child has progressed to a point where he/she can ride in traffic (c+d),
teach him/her how to cross kerbs and railway tracks, i.e. to cross these obstacles, if
possible, at right angle. Your child should also learn to look ahead and back for any
danger before taking this kind of obstacle.
Set a good example when it comes to wearing a cycling helmet (e) and to riding
on cycle lanes. It is also advisable to let your child take part in road safety lessons
offered at schools or by local clubs and associations.
DANGER!
G
It is important to tell children when they practise braking that in wet conditions the
brake performance is less effective and the tyre grip reduced and that they should
therefore ride more slowly and brake more carefully.
DANGER!
G
Take care your child is wearing the helmet while cycling only. For example, wearing
the helmet at a park or playground can be hazardous; the helmet can get caught on
features or obstacles and result in strangulation by helmet straps.
DANGER!
G
Children should not ride near precipices, staircases or swimming pools as well as
on paths used by automotive mobiles.
