your needs. Your helmet must fit correctly, be worn
correctly and be properly secured to do its real job.
Ask your dealer to help you with the fit and adjustment
of your helmet.
WARNING: Always wear a helmet when riding your bike.
Always keep the chin strap securely buckled. Failure to
wear an approved helmet may result in serious injury or
death.
2. REFLECTORS
Reflectors are important safety devices which are
designed as an integral part of your bicycle.
Federal regulations require every bicycle to be equipped
with front, rear, wheel and pedal reflectors. The size,
performance and location of each reflector is specified by
the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission. The
reflectors are designed to pick up and reflect car lights in
a way that helps you to be seen and recognized as a
moving bicyclist.
CAUTION: Check reflectors and their mounting brackets
regularly to make sure that they are clean, straight,
unbroken and securely mounted. Have your dealer replace
damaged reflectors and straighten or tighten any that are
bent or loose.
WARNING: Do not remove the reflectors or reflector mounting
brackets from your bicycle. They are an integral part of the
bicycle’s safety system. Removing the reflectors may reduce
your visibility to others using the roadway.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
WARNING: Many states require specific safety
devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself
with the laws of the state where you ride and to comply
with all applicable laws, including properly equipping
yourself and your bike as the law requires.
1. HELMET
While not all states require bicyclists to wear approved
protective headgear, common sense dictates that you
should wear an ANSI or Snell approved helmet whether
the law requires it or not. Most serious bicycle injuries
involve head injuries which might have been avoided if
the rider had worn a helmet. Your dealer has a variety
of attractive helmets, and can recommend one to suit

add safety by increasing adhesion between the rider’s
shoe and the bicycle pedal. If your bicycle has this type
of high-performance pedal you must take extra care to avoid
serious injury from the pedals’ sharp surfaces.
Based on your riding style or skill level, you may
prefer a less aggressive pedal design. Your dealer can
show you a number of options and make suitable
recommendations.
MECHANICAL SAFETY CHECK
Here is a simple, sixty-second mechanical safety
check which you should get in the habit of making
every time you’re about to get on a bike.
1. NUTS, BOLTS
Lift the front wheel off the ground by two or three
inches, then let it bounce on the ground. Anything
sound, feel or look loose? Do a quick visual and tactile
inspection of the whole bike. Any loose parts or
accessories? If so, secure them. If you’re not sure, ask
someone with experience to check.
2. TIRES & WHEELS
Tires correctly inflated? Check by putting one hand on
the saddle, one on the intersection of the handlebars
and stem, then bouncing your weight on the bike while
looking at tire deflection. Compare what you see with
how it looks when you know the tires are correctly
inflated; and adjust if necessary. See Section 5.C.1 for
details and recommended tire pressures.
Being struck by other vehicles often results in serious injury or
death. remember: reflectors are not a substitute for lights.
Always equip your bicycle with all state and locally mandated
lights.
3. LIGHTS
We strongly recommend that children not ride after
dusk or before daylight. If you must ride your bike
after dusk or before full daylight, your bicycle must be
equipped with lights so that you can see the road and
avoid road hazards; and so that others can see you.
Vehicle laws treat bicycles like any other vehicle. That
means you must have a white front and a red rear light
operating if you are riding after dusk or before full
daylight. Your bike dealer can recommend a battery or
generator powered lighting system appropriate to
your needs.
WARNING: Reflectors are not a substitute for
proper lights. It is your responsibility to equip
your bicycle with all state and locally mandated
lights. Riding at dawn, at dusk, at night or at other
times of poor visibility without a bicycle lighting system
which meets local and state laws and without reflectors
Is dangerous and may result in serious injury or death.
4. PEDALS
Some higher performance model bicycles come
equipped with pedals that have sharp and potentially
dangerous surfaces. These surfaces are designed to

4. WHEEL NUTS
Are the front and rear wheels straight and secure in
the dropouts? Are the wheel nuts properly tightened?
WARNING: Riding with an improperly installed or
insufficiently tightened wheel can cause the wheel to
wobble or disengage from the bicycle, which can cause
damage to the bicycle and serious injury or death.
5. HANDLEBAR AND SADDLE ALIGNMENT
Are the saddle and handlebar stem correctly parallel
to the bike’s top tube and tight enough so that you
can’t twist them out of alignment?
6. HANDLEBAR ENDS
Are the handlebar grips secure and in good condition?
If not, replace them. Are the handlebar ends plugged?
If not, plug them before you ride.
WARNING: Loose or damaged handlebar grips can
cause you to lose control and fall. Unplugged
handlebars can act like a cookie cutter on your body,
and cause serious injury in an otherwise minor accident.
Tires in good shape? Spin each wheel slowly and look
for cuts in the tread and sidewall. Replace damaged
tires before riding the bike.
Wheels true? Spin each wheel and check for brake
clearance and side-to-side wobble. If a wheel wobbles
side to side or hits the brake pads, take the bike to a
qualified bike shop to have the wheel trued.
CAUTION: Wheels must be true for hand brakes
to work effectively. Wheel truing is a skill which
requires special tools and experience. Do not attempt to
true a wheel unless you have the knowledge and tools
needed to do the job correctly.
3. BRAKES
If your bicycle has hand-operated brakes, squeeze the
brake levers. Are the brake shoes contacting the wheel
rim within an inch of brake lever movement? Can you
apply full braking force at the levers without having
them touch the handlebar? If not, your brakes need
adjustment. Do not ride the bike until the brakes are
properly adjusted. If your bicycle has a coaster brake,
check to make sure that the coaster brake arm is securely
clamped to the bicycle frame. If the arm or its mounting
bracket are loose, do not ride the bike until the brake
arm is properly secured. See page 16.
WARNING: Riding with improperly adjusted and
secured brakes or worn brake shoes is dangerous
and can result in serious injury or death.

2. LESSONS
The lessons that follow relate to some of the most
common real situations that children encounter when
riding their bikes. Go over these situations with your
child and make sure the lesson objective is
accomplished.
Driveway Rideout: When a youngster rides out
of the driveway and is struck by a car, that is called a
rideout accident.
What can you do?
First, realize the danger of your own driveway. If
there are obstructions to the view of passing
motorists (like bushes or trees), trim them back.
You might park your car in front of the driveway, if
local ordinance permits. This way, your child can’t
use the driveway as a launching pad.
But the most important thing you can do is teach
your child about driveway safety. Take your child
outside to the driveway and have him/her practice
the following steps:
!Stop before entering the street.
!Look left, right and left again for traffic.
!If there’s no traffic, proceed into the roadway.
Running the Stop Sign: Car/bike crashes can
happen when a cyclist runs a stop sign. Most cyclists
who get hit riding through stop signs know that they
RIDING SAFELY AND RESPONSIBLY
NOTE: Like any sport, bicycling involves risk of injury
and damage. By choosing to ride a bicycle, you assume
the responsibility for that risk. Not the people who sold
you the bike. Not the people who made it. Not the
people who distribute it. Not the people who manage or
maintain the roads or trails you ride on. You. So you
need to know - and to practice - the rules of safe and
responsible riding.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS
In addition to The Basics (page 7), the Rules of the
Road (page 7), the Rules of the Trail (page 9), Wet
Weather Riding (page 10), Night Riding (page 10)
and Bicycling in Traffic (page 11) kids need to be
taught...and to have frequently reinforced...the following
rules and lessons which adults are already
expected to know. We urge you to take the time to
familiarize yourself with these rules and to teach them
to your child before you let your child ride
unsupervised.
&1. RULES
!No playing in the road or in the street
!No riding on busy streets.
!No riding at night.
!Stop for all STOP signs.
!Ride on the right of traffic.

What can you do?
Of course, you ought to teach your child not to ride
across busy streets - at least until the child has had
some advanced training and is old enough to
understand traffic. But in the meantime, for
residential street riding, you can teach your child to
always look and signal before turning left. A big
part of this lesson is teaching the child how to look
to the rear without swerving.
Take your child to a playground to practice riding
along a straight line while looking behind. Stand
alongside and hold up a different number of fingers
on your hand after the child rides by. Call his/her
name. After 15 minutes of practice, a ten year old
should be able to look behind his/herself and
identify how many fingers you are holding up -
without swerving.
Night Time Riding (See also page 10).
Most car/bicycle accidents happen at night
where an overtaking car hits a bike. (An overtaking
car is one that comes up from behind and passes the
cyclist on the left.) These overtaking accidents can
be very serious.
What can you do?
First, you should keep your youngster from riding
at night. It requires special skills and equipment.
Few children have either. Secondly, make sure your
child understands that if he/she gets caught out
after dark on a bike, the thing to do is to call you
for a ride home. One suggestions is to tape “phone
were supposed to stop. They just thought it would
be OK this time; or they may have been distracted.
the thing to impress upon your child is that while
he/she may not get hit every time, running stop
signs will eventually result in an accident.
What can you do?
Take your child to a stop sign near home. Explain
what it means by emphasizing the following points:
1). Stop at all stop signs, regardless of what is
happening.
2). Look in all directions for traffic.
3). Watch for oncoming cars making left turns.
4). Watch for cars behind you making right turns.
5). Wait for any cross traffic to clear.
6). Proceed when safe.
In order to make this lesson stick, you may have to
change your own driving habits. If you creep
through intersections controlled by stop signs, you
are showing your child that you don’t really believe
what you preach. For your child’s sake, stop at stop
signs.
Turning Without Warning: Another major
accident type involves cyclists who make unexpected
left turns. They neither look behind for traffic, nor do
they signal. The key factor here is neglecting to look
to the rear: If the cyclist had looked, he/she would
have seen the danger coming up from behind.

2. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of your
bicycle.
3. 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.
4. Always wear a cycling helmet which
meets the latest Snell or ANSI standard.
5. Always wear shoes that will stay on
your feet and will grip the pedals. Never
ride barefoot or wearing sandals.
6. Wear bright, visible clothing that is not
so loose that is can catch on moving
parts of the bicycle or be snagged by
objects at the side of the road or trail.
7. Don’t jump with your bike. Jumping a bike,
particularly a BMX bike, can be fun; but it puts
incredible stress on everything from your spokes to
your pedals. Perhaps most vulnerable to jumping -
on jumping their bikes risk serious damage, to their
bicycles as well as to themselves.
C. RULES OF THE ROAD
1. Learn the local bicycle laws and regulations. Many
communities have special regulations about
licensing of bicycles, riding on sidewalks, law
regulating bike path and trail use, and so on. Many
states have helmet laws, child carrier laws and
money” to the bike so that, in an emergency, the
child will be able to call home.
Following the Leader: There is increased risk of
car/bike collision if children are following each other,
because if the first one does something dangerous,
those following may do it too.
What can you do?
Teach your child to always assess the traffic
situation for him/herself. When a group is riding
around, each cyclist should stop for stop signs;
each cyclist should look to the rear before making
left turns; and so on. One way to get the message
across is to play a game with the chld similar to
‘Simon Says’. In this game, however, the emphasis
should not be on doing what ‘Simon Says’, but
rather have the child make a decision based on the
situation. The child should learn to ignore what
‘Simon Says’. Children need to learn to think for
themselves to ride safely.
SUMMARY: Teach your child early - the earlier the
better. Learning skills such as looking and avoiding
hazards takes time. Be prepared to repeat lessons
until your child understands what you’re trying to
get across. Be patient. Your efforts will be rewarded,
knowing that your child is aware of safe riding skills.
B. THE BASICS
1. Always do the Mechanical Safety Check Before
you get on a bike.

SAFETY
5. Ride in designated bike lanes, on designated bike
paths or on the right side of the road, in the same
direction as car traffic and as close to the edge of the
road as possible.
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 hand signals for turning and stopping. Learn
the local vehicle code for the correct signals.
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.
10. Never carry anything which obstructs your vision or
your complete control of the bicycle, or which could
become entangled in the moving parts of the bicycle.
11. Never hitch a ride by holding on to another vehicle.
12. Don’t do stunts, wheelies or jumps. They can cause
you injury and damage your bike.
13. Don’t weave through traffic or make any moves that
may surprise people with whom you are sharing the road.
14. Observe and yield the right of way.
special bicycle traffic laws. In the U.S. And in most
foreign countries, a bicyclist is required to obey the
same traffic laws as the driver of a car or
motorcycle. It’s your responsibility to know and obey
the laws.
2. You are sharing the road or the path with others -
motorists, pedestrians and other cyclists. Respect
their rights, and be tolerant if they infringe on yours.
3. Ride defensively. Assume that the people with whom
you are sharing the road are so absorbed with what
they are doing and where they are going that they
are oblivious to you.
4. Look ahead of where you’re going, and be ready to
avoid:
!Vehicles slowing or turning in front of you,
entering the road or your lane ahead of you,
or coming up behind.
!Parked car doors opening in front of you.
!Pedestrians stepping out in front of you.
!Children playing near the road.
!Pot holes, sewer grating, railroad tracks,
expansions joints, road or sidewalk construction,
debris and other obstructions that could cause
you to swerve into traffic, catch your wheel or
otherwise cause you to lose control and have an
accident.
!The many other hazards and distractions which
can occur on a bicycle ride.
