E. Night Riding
Riding a bicycle at night is much more dangerous than riding during the day. A
bicyclist is very difficult for motorists and pedestrians to see. Therefore, children
should never ride at dawn, at dusk or at night. Adults who chose to accept the greatly
increased risk of riding at dawn, at dusk or at night need to take extra care both riding
and choosing specialized equipment which helps reduce that risk. Consult your dealer
about night riding safety equipment.
WARNING: Reflectors are not a substitute for required lights. Riding at dawn, at
dusk, at night or at other times of poor visibility without an adequate bicycle lighting
system and without reflectors is dangerous and may result in serious injury or death.
Bicycle reflectors are designed to pick up and reflect car lights and street lights in a
way that may help 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.
The mounting brackets of front and rear reflectors are often designed as brake
straddle cable safety catches which prevent the straddle cable from catching on the tire
tread if the cable jumps out of its yoke or breaks.
WARNING: Do not remove the front or rear reflectors or reflector brackets from
your bicycle. They are an integral part of the bicycle’s safety system.
Removing the reflectors reduces your visibility to others using the roadway. Being
struck by other vehicles may result in serious injury or death.
The reflector brackets may protect you from a brake straddle cable catching on the
tire in the event of brake cable failure. If a brake straddle cable catches on the tire, it
can cause the wheel to stop suddenly, causing you to loose control and fall.
If you choose to ride under conditions of poor visibility, check and be sure you comply
with all local laws about night riding, and take the following strongly recommended
additional precautions:
• Purchase and install battery or generator powered head and tail lights which meet
all regulatory requirements and provide adequate visibility.
• Wear light colored, reflective clothing and accessories, such as a reflective vest,
reflective arm and leg bands, reflective stripes on your helmet, flashing lights attached
to your body and/or your bicycle ... any reflective device or light source that moves will
help you get the attention of approaching motorists, pedestrians and other traffic.
• Make sure your clothing or anything you may be carrying on the bicycle does not
obstruct a reflector or light.
• Make sure that your bicycle is equipped with correctly positioned and securely
mounted reflectors.
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.
15. Never ride your bicycle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
16. If possible, avoid riding in bad weather, when visibility is obscured, at dawn, dusk or in
the dark, or when extremely tired. Each of these conditions increases the risk of accident.
C. Off Road Safety
We recommend that children not ride on rough terrain unless they are accompanied
by an adult.
1. The variable conditions and hazards of off-road riding require close attention and
specific skills. Start slowly on easier terrain and build up your skills. If your bike has
suspension, the increased speed you may develop also increases your risk of losing
control and falling. Get to know how to handle your bike safely before trying increased
speed or more difficult terrain.
2. Wear safety gear appropriate to the kind of riding you plan to do.
3. Don’t ride alone in remote areas. Even when riding with others, make sure that
someone knows where you’re going and when you expect to be back.
4. Always take along some kind of identification, so that people know who you are in
case of an accident; and take along some cash for food, a cool drink or an emergency
phone call.
5. Yield right of way to pedestrians and animals. Ride in a way that does not frighten
or endanger them, and give them enough room so that their unexpected moves don’t
endanger you.
6. Be prepared. If something goes wrong while you’re riding off-road, help may not be
close.
7. Before you attempt to jump, do stunt riding or race with your bike, read and
understand Section 2.F.
Off Road respect
Obey the local laws regulating where and how you can ride off-road, and respect
private property. You may be sharing the trail with others — hikers, equestrians, other
cyclists. Respect their rights. Stay on the designated trail. Don’t contribute to erosion by
riding in mud or with unnecessary sliding. Don’t disturb the ecosystem by cutting your
own trail or shortcut through vegetation or streams. It is your responsibility to minimize
your impact on the environment. Leave things as you found them; and always take out
everything you brought in.
D. Wet Weather Riding
WARNING: Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility, both for the
bicyclist and for other vehicles sharing the road. The risk of an accident is
dramatically increased in wet conditions.
Under wet conditions, the stopping power of your brakes (as well as the brakes of
other vehicles sharing the road) is dramatically reduced and your tires don’t grip nearly
as well. This makes it harder to control speed and easier to lose control. To make sure
that you can slow down and stop safely in wet conditions, ride more slowly and apply
