PART I
1.D - FIRST RIDE
When you buckle on your helmet and go for your rst
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 rst. 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.

SAFETY DEVICES. IT IS YOUR
