Think about safety when you ride. You can prevent many
accidents if you think about safety. Below is a helpful
checklist for
Instinct
riders.
SAFETY CHECKLIST
• Check your
Instinct
before every ride, making sure
brakes are operating effectively and everything is in good
working condition.
• Do not ride “no hands.” Always keep both hands firmly
on the handlebars.
• Do not ride “double” with more than one rider on the
seat.
• Avoid riding in large groups, as this can force you to ride
too close to other riders, making it difficult to see other
vehicles and road hazards.
• Do not ride above your skill level. Ensure you have had
enough practice with all functions and features of your
Instinct
.
• Do not ride too fast - with increased speed comes
increased risk. If you are moving at a higher speed, small
bumps can turn into large impacts, leading to a higher risk
of injury if an accident occurs.
• Do not ride with loose objects attached to the
handlebars or other parts of the
Instinct
.
• Do not ride your
Instinct
with any pets leashed to your
bicycle.
• Never carry other riders or packages as they may
obstruct vision or proper control of your
Instinct
.
When you ride in low-visibility conditions such as
fog, dusk, or night, you might be difficult to see,
which could lead to a collision. Wear bright,
reflective clothing when riding in poor lighting
conditions.
