· Make sure your clothing or anything you may be carrying on the bicycle does not obstruct a reflector or light.
While riding at dawn, at dusk or at night:

· Avoid road hazards.
· If possible, ride on familiar routes.
F. Downhill or Competition Biking
If you ride downhill at speed or in competition, you voluntarily assume an increased risk of injury or death. When riding downhill, you can
reach speeds seen on motorcycles, and therefore face similar hazards and risks. Have your bicycle and equipment carefully inspected by a
qualified mechanic and be sure it is in perfect condition. Consult with expert riders and race officials on conditions and equipment advisable at
the site where you plan to ride. For mountain biking, wear appropriate safety gear, including an approved full face helmet, full finger gloves, and
body armor. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to have proper equipment and to be familiar with course conditions.
WARNING:
High-speed downhill or competition riding can lead to serious accidents. Wear appropriate safety gear and be sure your
bike is properly maintained. Even with state-of-the-art protective safety gear, you could be seriously injured or killed when riding downhill at
speed or in competition.
G. Changing Components or Adding Accessories
There are many components and accessories available to enhance the comfort, performance and appearance of your bicycle. However, if you
change components or add accessories, you do so at your own risk. The bicycle’s manufacturer may not have tested that component or accessory
for compatibility, reliability or safety on your bicycle. Before installing any component or accessory, including a different size tire, make sure that
it is compatible with your bicycle by checking with your dealer. Be sure to read, understand and follow the instructions that accompany the
products you purchase for your bicycle.
WARNING:
Failure to confirm compatibility, properly install, operate and maintain any component or accessory can result in serious
injury or death.
CAUTION:
Changing the components on your bike may void the warranty. Refer to your warranty, and check with your dealer before
changing the components on your bike.
