5. Always wear:

• Shoes that will stay on your feet and will grip the pedals. Make sure that shoe

laces cannot get into moving parts, and never ride barefoot or in sandals.

• Bright, visible clothing that is not so loose that it can be tangled in the

bicycle or snagged by objects at the side of the road or trail.

• Protective eyewear, to protect against airborne dirt, dust and bugs —

tinted when the sun is bright, clear when it’s not.

6. Don’t jump with your bike. Jumping a bike, particularly a BMX or mountain

bike, can be fun; but it can put huge and unpredictable stress on the bicycle and

its components. Riders who insist on jumping their bikes risk serious damage,

to their bicycles as well as to themselves. Before you attempt to jump, do stunt

riding or race with your bike, read and understand Section 2.F.

7. Ride at a speed appropriate for conditions. Higher speed means higher risk.

B. Riding Safety

1. Obey all Rules of the Road and all local trafﬁc laws.

2. You are sharing the road or the path with others — motorists, pedestrians

and other cyclists. Respect their rights.

3. Ride defensively. Always assume that others do not see you.

4. Look ahead, and be ready to avoid:

• Vehicles slowing or turning, entering the road or your lane ahead of

you, or coming up behind you.

• Parked car doors opening.

• Pedestrians stepping out.

• Children or pets playing near the road.

• Pot holes, sewer grating, railroad tracks, expansion joints, road or sidewalk

construction, debris and other obstructions that could cause you to swerve

into trafﬁc, catch your wheel or cause you to have an accident.

• The many other hazards and distractions which can occur on a bicycle ride.

5. Ride in designated bike lanes, on designated bike paths or as close to

the edge of the road as possible, in the direction of trafﬁc ﬂow or as directed

by local governing laws.

6. Stop at stop signs and trafﬁc lights; slow down and look both ways at

street intersections. Remember that a bicycle always loses in a collision with

a motor vehicle, so be prepared to yield even if you have the right of way.

7. Use approved hand signals for turning and stopping.

8. Never ride with headphones. They mask trafﬁc sounds and emergency

vehicle sirens, distract you from concentrating on what’s going on around

you, and their wires can tangle in the moving parts of the bicycle, causing

you to lose control.

9. Never carry a passenger, unless it’s a small child wearing an approved

helmet and secured in a correctly mounted child carrier or child-carrying

trailer. If you choose to install a child carrier or rack, please check with your

Authorized Specialized Dealer and refer to the Appendix A supplement at

www.specialized.com to make sure the bicycle is designed to accept a child

carrier or rack. Only install a child carrier or rack on a bicycle if the bicycle

category allows it and it does not exceed the maximum allowable cargo

weight. Just because a frame has eyelets does not mean it can support

cargo weight, as eyelets can be intended for fenders only.
