Write this number below to keep it for future reference. If the bicycle is stolen, give this number and a description of the bicycle to the police. This will help them ﬁ nd the bicycle.

To determine the correct size of bicycle for the rider:

• Straddle the assembled bicycle with feet shoulder width apart and ﬂ at on the ground.

• There must be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of clearance (1) between the highest part of the top tube (2) and the crotch of the rider with tires properly inﬂ ated.

• The minimum leg-length for the rider is the highest part of the top tube plus one inch (3).

Warning and Safety Information

Meanings of Warnings:

a This symbol is important. See the word “CAUTION” or “WARNING”

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.

The word “WARNING” is before personal safety instructions. If you do not obey these instructions, injury to the rider or to others can occur.

• Do not add a motor to the product.

• Do not tow or push the product.

• Do not modify the product.

• Replace worn or broken parts immediately.

• If anything does not operate properly, discontinue use.

Rules of the Road

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 trafﬁ c regulations, signs, and signals.

• Always wear a bicycle helmet that meets safety standards, as well as local safety standards.

• Ride on the correct side of the road, in a single ﬁ le, 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 ﬂ ashing safety lights are also recommended.

• Make sure the reﬂ ectors of your bicycle are correctly positioned. Do not remove the reﬂ ector or replace the reﬂ ectors with lighted devices that look similar to reﬂ ectors.

• Make yourself more visible to motorists.

• Wear light-colored or reﬂ ective clothing, such as a reﬂ ective vest and reﬂ ective bands for your arms and legs.

• Use reﬂ ective tape on your helmet.

• Do not let anything cover the reﬂ ectors.

• Use extra caution in wet weather:

• Ride slowly on damp surfaces because the tires will slide more easily.

• Avoid these hazards to prevent loss of control or damage to your wheels:

• Be aware of drain grates, soft road edges, gravel or sand, pot holes or ruts, wet leaves, or uneven paving.

• Cross railroad tracks at a right angle to prevent the loss of control.

• Avoid unsafe actions while riding.

• Do not carry any passengers.

• Do not carry any items or attach anything to your bicycle that could hinder your vision, hearing, or control.

• Do not ride with both hands off the handlebar.
