WARNING: Failure of the rider to obey the following “Rules of the Road”
can result in injury to the rider or to others.
• Obey all traffic regulations, signs, and signals.
• Always wear a bicycle helmet that meets CPSC safety standards, as well
as local safety standards.
• Ride on the correct side of the road, in a single file, and in a straight line.
• If possible, avoid riding at night, dusk, dawn and any other time of poor
visibility.
• If you must ride at night or at time of poor visibility:
• Purchase, install, and use a headlight and taillight.
• Headlights are required by all states for nighttime riding and taillights
are required in some states.
• Battery-powered lights or flashing safety lights are also recommended.
• Make sure the reflectors of your bicycle are correctly positioned. Do not
remove the reflector or replace the reflectors with lighted devices that
look similar to reflectors.

reflective bands for your arms and legs.
• Use reflective tape on your helmet.

which follows it.
The word “CAUTION” is before mechanical instructions. If you do not obey
these instructions, mechanical damage or failure of a part of the bicycle can
occur.

obey these instructions, injury to the rider or to others can occur.

ruts, wet leaves, or uneven paving.
• Cross railroad tracks at a right angle to prevent the loss of control.

Introduction
This Owner’s Manual is made for several different bicycles. Some of the il-
lustrations may not look exactly like the parts of the bicycle, but the instructions
are correct. If the bicycle has any parts that are not described in this manual,
look for separate “Special Instructions” that are supplied with the bicycle.
Do not dispose of the carton and packaging until you complete the assembly of
the bicycle. This can prevent accidentally discarding parts of the bicycle.
WARNING: Keep small parts away from children during assembly.
NOTE: All of the directions (right, left, front, rear, etc.) in this manual are as
seen by the rider while seated on the bicycle.
All features, components and accessories are not included on all models.
