10. Things Worth Knowing about Bicycles

and Cycling

10.1. Helmets

Cycling helmets are a must when riding a bicycle. Frequent counter-ar-

guments, such as poor ventilation, high weight and awful designs can

no longer be maintained with the latest helmets. Your STEVENS dealer

has a wide range of stylish helmets in various sizes. Take your time when

buying a helmet and wear the one you have chosen for while. A good hel-

met should fit accurately and should not hurt. Make sure that the helmet

complies with the testing standards.

10.2. Transporting Luggage

If your bicycle has a carrier system, you can take lightweight luggage with

you on the carrier plate. For the riding behaviour of the bicycle this is the

worst option. We recommend that you carry luggage in stable pannier

bags with a very low centre of gravity.

The carrier systems on STEVENS bicycles are designed for different lug-

gage loads. Please note that the maximum load for narrow carrier sys-

tems is 15 kg and for wide carrier systems 30 kg.

Another possibility of transporting luggage are handlebar bags. They

often have snap buckles for quick mounting and removal. Handlebar

bags are particularly suitable to carry valuable objects and photographic

equipment with you.

Lowrider bags fitted at the front of the bicycle are mounted to the fork

by means of special holders. They are an additional option for a long trip.

Heavy luggage should be transported in these bags, where the effects on

the riding behaviour are less important.

10.3. Accessories

There are lots of accessories on the market which are intended to provide

more fun for cycling. Cycle computers are on top of the list. They meas-

ure riding and average speed, daily and annual mileage and riding time.

High-end models indicate the highest speed, differences in altitude, ped-

alling cadence and many other things.

The most important accessories for a successful cycle tour are a tyre pump

and a small tool kit. The tool kit should include two plastic tyre levers,

the most commonly used Allen keys, a spare tube, a tyre repair kit, your

mobile phone, if necessary, and a little cash. In this way you will be well

prepared in the event of a puncture or some other mishap.

Before buying any additional bells, horns or lighting accessories, inform

yourself thoroughly whether they are permitted and tested and accord-

ingly approved for use on public roads.

Battery/accumulator-operated lights have to be marked with the wavy

line and the letter “K” (see chapter “Legal Requirements for Riding on

Public Roads”). Keep in mind to take a lock with you, as bicycles are sto-

len often. Your STEVENS dealer will be pleased to inform you about the

different security levels of locks.

Things Worth Knowing about Bicycles and Cycling

Note:

When buying pannier bags,

make sure they are watertight

so that your belongings are

protected and you will not

have any unpleasant surprises

after the rst rain shower.

Danger:

Retrotted accessories, such

as mudguards, carrier systems

etc. can impair the function-

ing of your bicycle. This may

result in a loss of control of

your bike and in a fall. Always

ask your STEVENS dealer for

advice before mounting any

kind of accessories to your

bicycle.
