10. Riding the Bike
WARNING Danger from falls and accidents
Your riding safety depends on your speed. The higher your speed, the greater your risk!
• You should only use this bike if you can safely ride at high speeds and can also brake safely from such
speeds.
• Always adapt your speed to your riding skills and the riding conditions.
• Always wear a helmet when riding your bike.
• Ride with foresight and defensively.
• Be ready to brake at all times.
• Do not ride after consuming alcohol.
• Ride in such a way that you have your bike under control at all times and can react correctly in the event
of a sudden danger situation.
• Please note that the braking effect can be significantly reduced when riding on loose and/or slippery
surfaces, under high load, on downhill rides and in adverse weather conditions.
This causes the braking distance to become longer.
• Please also note that frequent and lengthy braking, which causes the brake system to become very hot,
leads to significant deterioration of the braking effect.
This causes the braking distance to become longer. See Section 8.5 Using the brakes.
• When riding, wear only suitable clothing that does not hinder the operation of the bike or your sight.
• Always wear tight-fitting legwear when riding. Loose clothing can become tangled in the bike and lead to
serious falls.
• In the dark and with poor visibility, wear clothing with reflective stripes and switch on your lights.
• Note that some items of clothing and/or the use of a backpack can hinder your mobility.
• If using your bike for sports (e.g. in a sports park, for downhill racing), you should wear appropriate pro-
tective equipment.
You may only use your bike in the usual way:
1. Sit with your buttocks on the saddle.
2. Hold the left-hand grip of the handlebars with your left hand and the right-hand grip with your right
hand.
3. When riding, place your left foot on the left pedal and your right foot on the right pedal.
4. When accelerating or riding uphill, you may ride while standing on the pedals.
WARNING Danger from falls and accidents
While you are standing on the pedals, if your foot slips from the pedal this may cause a severe fall.
You should only use this riding technique
• if you have mastered it,
• if you use a shoe-pedal combination with which you cannot slip off the pedal if you use the cor-
rect pedalling technique. Please contact your specialist dealer on this. He or she will be pleased to
advise you.
WARNING Danger from body parts being drawn in and shearing forces
Rotating wheels can injure hands and other parts of the body.
• Keep your hands and other parts of the body away from rotating wheels and brake discs!
• Please ensure that your child's hands and other parts of their body cannot come into contact with the
revolving wheels or brake discs.
CAUTION Danger of burns
When riding - especially in the case of lengthy downhill rides and frequent braking - rims and
brake discs can become so hot that you may burn your skin.
• Do not touch the rims or brake discs immediately after riding your bike.
• Allow the rims and brake discs to cool down for at least 10 minutes before touching them.
• In order to check the temperature, lightly tap with your bare finger very briefly on the braking surface of
the rim and brake disc. If after the above period it still feels hot, wait a few minutes and repeat the test
until the braking surface has completely cooled down.
NOTE:
There are a wide range of offers available for cycle training.
Training to ride a bike can help you increase your riding safety and improve your riding technique. Ask your spe-
cialist bicycle dealer about offers near you.
