PART I

2.C - OFF-ROAD SAFETY

We recommend that children not ride on rough

terrain unless they are accompanied by an adult.

1. The variable conditions and hazards of o-road

riding require close attention and speciﬁc skills.

Start slowly on easier terrain and build up your

skills. If your bike has suspension, the increased

speed you may develop also increases your risk

of losing control and falling. Get to know how to

handle your bike safely before trying increased

speed or more dicult terrain.

2. Wear safety gear appropriate to the kind of riding

you plan to do.

3. Don’t ride alone in remote areas. Even when

riding with others, make sure that someone

knows where you’re going and when you expect

to be back.

4. Always take along some kind of identiﬁcation,

so that people know who you are in case of an

accident; and take along a couple of dollars in

cash for a candy bar, a cool drink or an emergency

phone call.

5. Yield right of way to pedestrians and animals.

Ride in a way that does not frighten or endanger

them, and give them enough room so that their

unexpected moves don’t endanger you.

6. Be prepared. If something goes wrong while

you’re riding o-road, help may not be close.

7. Before you attempt to jump, do stunt riding

or race with your bike, read and understand

SECTION 2.F.

O-Road Respect

Obey the local laws regulating where and how you

can ride o-road, and respect private property.

You may be sharing the trail with others — hikers,

equestrians, other cyclists. Respect their rights.

Stay on the designated trail. Don’t contribute to

erosion by riding in mud or with unnecessary sliding.

Don’t disturb the ecosystem by cutting your own

trail or shortcut through vegetation or streams. It is

your responsibility to minimize your impact on the

environment. Leave things as you found them; and

always take out everything you brought in.

2.D - WET WEATHER RIDING

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.

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.

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.C.
