KONA OWNER’S MANUAL

WARNING: Do not remove the front or rear
reectors or reector brackets from your bicycle.
They are an integral part of the bicycle’s safety
system. Removing the reectors may reduce your
visibility to others using the roadway. Being struck by
other vehicles may result in serious injury or death.
The reector brackets may protect you from the brake
straddle cable catching on the tire in the event of
brake cable failure. If a brake straddle cable catches
on the tire, it can cause the wheel to stop suddenly,
causing you to loose control and fall.
If you choose to ride under conditions of poor visibility,
check and be sure you comply with all local laws about
night riding, and take the following strongly recommend-
ed additional precautions:
• Purchase and install battery or generator powered head
and tail lights which meet all regulatory requirements and
provide adequate visibility.
• Wear light colored, reective clothing and accessories,
such as a reective vest, reective arm and leg bands,
reective stripes on your helmet, ashing lights attached
to your body and/or your bicycle ... any reective device
or light source that moves will help you get the attention
of approaching motorists, pedestrians and other trafc.
• Make sure your clothing or anything you may be carry-
ing on the bicycle does not obstruct a reector or light.
• Make sure that your bicycle is equipped with correctly
positioned and securely mounted reectors.
While riding at dawn, at dusk or at night:
• Ride slowly.
• Avoid dark areas and areas of heavy or fast-moving trafc.
• Avoid road hazards.
• If possible, ride on familiar routes.
If riding in trafc:
• Be predictable. Ride so that drivers can see you and
predict your movements.
• Be alert. Ride defensively and expect the unexpected.
• If you plan to ride in trafc often, ask your dealer
about trafc safety classes or a good book on bicycle
trafc safety.
F) EXTREME, STUNT OR COMPETITION RIDING
Whether you call it Aggro, Hucking, Freeride, North Shore,
Downhill, Jumping, Stunt Riding, Racing or something else:
by engaging in this sort of extreme, aggressive riding you
voluntarily assume an increased risk of injury or death.
Not all bicycles are designed for these types of riding,
and those that are may not be suitable for all types of
aggressive riding. Check with your dealer or the bicycle’s
manufacturer about the suitability of your bicycle before
engaging in extreme riding.
When riding fast down hill, you can reach speeds seen on
motorcycles, and therefore face similar hazards and risks.
Have your bicycle and equipment carefully inspected by a
qualied mechanic and be sure it is in perfect condition.
Consult with expert riders and race ofcials on conditions
and equipment advisable at the site where you plan to ride.
Wear appropriate safety gear, including an approved full
face helmet, full nger gloves, and body armor. Ultimately,
it is your responsibility to have proper equipment and to be
familiar with course conditions.
WARNING: Although many catalogs,
advertisements and articles about bicycling depict
riders engaged in extreme riding, this activity is
extremely dangerous, increases your risk of injury
or death, and increases the severity of any injury. 9
