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 first. 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 again.
2. SAFETY
A. The Basics
WARNING: The area in which you ride may require specific safety
devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of
the area where you ride and to comply with all applicable laws, including
properly equipping yourself and your bike as the law requires.
Observe all local bicycle laws and regulations. Observe regulations
about bicycle lighting, licensing of bicycles, riding on sidewalks, laws
regulating bike path and trail use, helmet laws, child carrier laws, special
bicycle traffic laws. It’s your responsibility to know and obey the laws.
1. Always wear a cycling helmet which meets the latest
certification standards and is appropriate for the type of riding
you do. Always follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions
for fit, use and care of your helmet. Most serious bicycle
injuries involve head injuries which might have been avoided if
the rider had worn an appropriate helmet.
WARNING: Failure to wear a helmet when riding may result in
serious injury or death.
2. Always do the Mechanical Safety Check (Section 1.C) before you get on a bike.
3. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of your bicycle: brakes (Section
4.C.); pedals (Section 4.E.); shifting (Section 4.D.)
4. Be careful to keep body parts and other objects away from the sharp
teeth of chainrings, the moving chain, the turning pedals and cranks, and the
spinning wheels of your bicycle.
