Riding O-Road
Section A. Important Safety Information
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
Riding O-Road
O road riding usually involves many, many
variables such as constantly changing traction,
obstacles, changes in line of sight, up hill, down
hill, soft surfaces, dry surfaces and wet
surfaces.
O road riding requires managing a complex
and constantly changing rider–to-bicycle
feedback loop of traction, weight distribution,
application of power, application of brakes and
steering driven by the conditions one
encounters.
Learning to ride o road is a process. It does not
automatically occur because you have a
mountain bike or o-road capable bike.
Learning to ride o road does not come from
watching “extreme” mountain bike videos or TV.
In fact the riders in those films are professional
entertainers and/or daredevils, not teachers.
The complexity and ever-changing nature of o
road riding requires focus, concentration,
strength, fitness and learning to read the trail.
The art of managing all this while surrounded by
nature makes this a challenging and wonderful
sport. We recommend that children not ride on
rough terrain unless they are accompanied by
an adult.
Here are just some o-road riding concerns:
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.
