D. First ride

When you buckle on your helmet and go for your rst familiarization ride on

your new bicycle, be sure to pick a controlled environment, away from cars,

other cyclists, obstacles or other hazards. Ride to become familiar with the

controls, features and performance of your new bike.

Familiarize yourself with the braking action of the bike (see Section

4.C). Test the brakes at slow speed, putting your weight toward the rear

and gently applying the brakes, rear brake rst. Sudden or excessive

application of the front brake could pitch you over the handlebars. Applying

brakes too hard can lock up a wheel, which could cause you to lose control

and fall. Skidding is an example of what can happen when a wheel locks

up.

If your bicycle has toeclips or clipless pedals, practice getting in and out of

the pedals. See paragraph B.4 above and Section 4.E.4.

If your bike has suspension, familiarize yourself with how the suspension

responds to brake application and rider weight shifts. See paragraph B.6

above and Section 4.F.

Practice shifting the gears (see Section 4.D). Remember to never move

the shifter while pedaling backward, nor pedal backwards immediately

after having moved the shifter. This could jam the chain and cause serious

damage to the bicycle.

Check out the handling and response of the bike; and check the comfort.

If you have any questions, or if you feel anything about the bike is not as it

should be, consult your dealer before you ride again.

Squeeze the brake levers. Are the brake quick-releases closed? All control

cables seated and securely engaged? If you have rim brakes, do the brake

pads contact the wheel rim squarely and make full contact with the rim?

Do the brakes begin to engage within an inch of brake lever movement?

Can you apply full braking force at the levers without having them touch the

handlebar? If not, your brakes need adjustment. Do not ride the bike until

the brakes are properly adjusted by a professional bicycle mechanic.

 Wheel retention system: Make sure the front and rear wheels are

correctly secured. See Section 4.A

 Seat post: If your seat post has an over-center cam action fastener for

easy height adjustment, check that it is properly adjusted and in the locked

position. See Section 4.B.

 Handlebar and saddle alignment: Make sure the saddle and

handlebar stem are parallel to the bike’s center line and clamped tight

enough so that you can’t twist them out of alignment. See Sections 3.B and

3.C.

 Handlebar ends: Make sure the handlebar grips are secure and in

good condition. If not, have your dealer replace them. Make sure the

handlebar ends and extensions are plugged. If not, have your dealer plug

them before you ride. If the handlebars have bar end extensions, make

sure they are clamped tight enough so you can’t twist them.

WARNING: Loose or damaged handlebar grips or extensions

can cause you to lose control and fall. Unplugged handlebars

or extensions can cut you and cause serious injury in an

otherwise minor accident.

VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:

Please also read and become thoroughly familiar with the important

information on the lifespan of your bicycle and its components in

Appendix B on Page 43.
