3.9 SAFE RIDING
A)
If for some reason you fall over while moving,
DO NOT PUT
YOUR FOOT DOWN!
It can be drawn underneath the seat,
causing severe injury to your leg and knee. Instead, keep
your feet on the pedals, and let the seat take the impact.
B) WEAR A HELMET!
If your head is worth less than $50 (the
price of a good helmet); you don't need one.
C) WET WEATHER:
Your brakes do not work as good in this
condition, so allow for more stopping distance on down hills.
Also, BE CAREFUL when cornering!
D) BE CAREFUL
when cornering fast on unfamiliar roads. Any
gravel in the corner may cause a slide out. Because of the low
Lightning seat position, it is possible to lean over more in a
corner than a standard bike without realizing it.
E) PLEASE OBSERVE ALL TRAFFIC LAWS
. Cars like it when
you are predictable, so don't make any sudden moves, and
always signal your intentions.
F) WHEN RIDING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC
, bright colored clothes
are a big help. A warning flag may also be a good idea.
G) FOR NIGHT RIDING
, buy a good lighting system. NightSun
has the best lights for dark roads at Lightning speeds.
H) USE A MIRROR
to see traffic behind you, this is much easier
and safer than turning around.
I) BE CAREFUL
on roads that have been repaved, leaving a lip
where the new pavement drops off onto the old pavement at
the shoulder. The small front wheel occasionally has problems
negotiating this lip.
