Bicycle reectors are designed to pick up and reect
street lights and car lights in a way that may help you to
be seen and recognized as a moving bicyclist.
CAUTION: Check reectors and their mounting
brackets regularly to make sure that they are clean,
straight, unbroken and securely mounted. Have your
dealer replace damaged reectors and straighten or
tighten any that are bent or loose.
The mounting brackets of front and rear reectors are
often designed as brake straddle cable safety catches
which prevent the straddle cable from catching on the tire
tread if the cable jumps out of its yoke or breaks.
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 reduces 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 a 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 lose 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
carrying 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.
• I f 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:
if you engage in this sort of extreme, aggressive riding you
will get hurt, and 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
