Chapter 1: Guide to Safe On-and-Off Road Operation 8
Examine the Suspension
Adjust your suspension for your use, and
make sure that no suspension component can
“bottom-out,” or be fully compressed.
Examine the Lights and Reflectors
Make sure the lights operate correctly and
that batteries are charged. If the lights use a
dynamo, make sure the dynamo is mounted
correctly and all attachment hardware is tight.
Make sure all reflectors are clean and in their
correct position.
Some countries, areas. or governments have
specific requirements for lights, such as colors or
types. Check before traveling with your bicycle.
Rules to Ride Safely
Know and Obey Local Bicycle Laws
Most state and local areas have special laws
for bicycle riders, and you should obey the
laws. The necessary items such as lights and
reflectors change between areas. To learn
what is necessary, speak to the local bicycle
clubs or your Department of Transportation
(or the equivalent).
These are some of the more important rules for
when you ride:
Use correct hand signals.
Ride one at a time when you ride with other
bicycle riders.
Ride on the correct side of the road; Do not
ride in the opposite direction of traffic.
Ride defensively; be prepared for all
situations. A bicycle rider is hard to see, and
many drivers do not know the rights and
special considerations of a bicycle rider.
Look for Cars, Pedestrians,
and Other Obstacles
Look for potholes, drain grates, soft or low
shoulders, and other deviations which could
cause an impact to your wheels or cause the
wheels to slide. When you go across railroad
tracks or drain grates, ride carefully at a 90°
angle (Figure 9). If you are not sure of the
surface conditions, walk with your bicycle.
WARNING: A bicycle without
correct lights and reflectors might be
difficult for other people to see, and
you might not be able to see. If you
can not see, or other people can not
see you, you could have an accident.
Use a front light, a rear light, and
reflectors when you ride in low
visibility conditions.
