Section 1. First
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
1.D  First Ride
When you buckle on your helmet and go for
your first familiarization ride on your new
bicycle, be sure to pick a controlled
environment, away from cars, other cyclists,
obstacles or other hazards. Ride to become
familiar with the controls, features and
performance of your new bike.
Familiarize yourself with the braking action
of the bike (see SECTION 4.C). Test the
brakes at slow speed, putting your weight
toward the rear and gently applying the
brakes, rear brake first. Sudden or excessive
application of the front brake could pitch you
over the handlebars. Applying brakes too
hard can lock up a wheel, which could cause
you to lose control and fall. Skidding is an
example of what can happen when a wheel
locks up.
If your bicycle has toeclips or clipless pedals,
practice getting in and out of the pedals.
See paragraph B.4 above and SECTION
4.E.4.
If your bike has suspension, familiarize
yourself with how the suspension responds
to brake application and rider weight shifts.
See paragraph B.6 above and SECTION 4.F.
Practice shifting the gears (see SECTION
4.D). Remember to never move the shifter
while pedaling backward, nor pedal
backwards immediately after having moved
the shifter. This could jam the chain and
cause serious damage to the bicycle.
Check out the handling and response of the
bike; and check the comfort.
If you have any questions, or if you feel
anything about the bike is not as it should
be, consult your dealer before you ride again.
