PART I

2.E - NIGHT RIDING

Riding a bicycle at night is much more dangerous than

riding during the day. A bicyclist is very dicult 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 reectors are designed to pick up and reect

street lights and car lights in a way that may help you

to be seen and recognized as a moving bicyclist.

CAUTION

Check reectors and their mounting brackets

regularly to make sure that they are clean,straight,

unbroken and securely mounted. Have your

dealer replace damaged reectors and straighten

or tighten any that are bent or loose.

The mounting brackets of front and rear reectors 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 MAY

REDUCE YOUR VISIBILITY TO OTHERS

USING THE ROADWAY. BEING STRUCK

BY OTHER VEHICLES MAY RESULT IN

SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

The reector brackets may protect you from the

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, reective clothing and

accessories, such as a reective vest, reective

arm and leg bands, reective stripes on your

helmet, ashing lights attached to your body and/

or your bicycle ... any reective device or light

source that moves will help you get the attention

of approaching motorists, pedestrians and other

trac.

• Make sure your clothing or anything you may

be carrying on the bicycle does not obstruct a

reector or light.

• Make sure that your bicycle is equipped with

correctly positioned and securely mounted

reectors.
