1. WARNING ON AND
OFF
ROAD
CONDITIONS:
The
condition of the riding surface is very important.
lf the surface is wet, or has sand,
small rocks or other loose
debris on
the surface, carefully
decrease the speed of the
bicycle and ride with extra caution. lt will also take a
longer
time and more distance to
stop.
Apply the
brake earlier than normal and with less force
to help keep the bicycle from sliding.
2. NOTICE: some state
and
local laws may require that
your
bike be equipped with a warning
device, such as a horn or bell and a light. Do NOT
ride
at night. Vision is
quite
limited
at dawn and dusk.
3..Always wear
shoes when riding a bicycle and avoid loose fitting
clothes. Wear a cuff band or trouser
clip
to keep
pants
from
getting
caught in
the chainwheel. Long
sleeves, long
pants, gloves,
eye
protection
and elbow and knee
pads
are also recommended.
4.
CAUTION: WET WEATHER WARNING:
Check
your
brakes frequently. The
ability
to stop
your'bicycle
is critical. Roads are
slippery
in wet
weather
so avoid sharp turns
and allow
more
distance for stopping. Brakes may
become
less
efficient when wet. Leaves, loose
gravel
and
other
debris on the road
can also effect stopping distance.
5. Don't wear
anything that
restricts
your
hearing.

RELEASE
FRONT
WHEEL
Some bicycles
have wheel
axles that incorporate
a
Quick
Release
(QR)
mechanism.
This
allows easy wheel
removal
without
the need
for
tools.
The mechanlsm
uses a long
bolt
(called
a skewer)
with
an
adjusting nut
on one end,
and a lever operating
a cam-action
tensioner
on the other.
With
the
quick
release
lever in
the open
position,
insert the
front
wheel
into the
open ends
ofthe fork. Turn
the adjusting
nut so that
the
locking lever
is moved
to the closed
position
with
a firm action.
At the
halfiruay
closed
positibn
of the
quick
release
lever,
you
should
start to
feel
some resistance
to
this motion. Do
not tighten
the
quick
release
by using
the
quick
release
lever like
a wing nut.
lf the
quick
release
lever is
moved to
the closed
position
with no
resistance,
clamping
strength
is insufficient.
Move
the
quick
release
lever
to the
open
position,
tighten the

nut,
and
return
the

until it
stops.
3. Pivot
the lever
towards the
closed
