Please be aware of how your tandem should be used. No Circe tandem is suitable for jumping or tricks. Misuse of your

Circe tandem, or triplet, may lead to mechanical or structural failure, will invalidate your warranty, and could result in

serious injury or death. Our tandems are designed for riding on smooth roads and paths, and on improved trails, though

to what extent is dictated by tyre choice and rider confidence, ability and experience.

This section provides some guidance on ways to cycle

safely on your new tandem.

CYCLING LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Most countries have special laws and regulations for

bicycles and cyclists, and these may apply to you as a

tandem rider. Know the local cycling laws and obey them.

PINCH POINT AND MOVING PARTS

Some parts of your tandem can injure you if mishandled.

For example, the chainring teeth are sharp and brakes get

hot during use. Moving parts, including brake levers and

the fold mechanism, can pinch, cut or, crush.

CHECK LIST FOR EVERY RIDE

Before you ride your tandem, make sure it is in a safe

operating condition. If any part of your tandem does not

function correctly, do not ride it until it is fixed. Refer to

the maintenance schedule on page.....to see what you

should check and when.

WEAR A HELMET

It is good practice to wear a cycling helmet that complies

with the latest safety standards. Choose a helmet that

is comfortable and fits well. Follow the manufacturer's

instructions to ensure it fits correctly.

VISIBILITY

Make sure other road users and pedestrians can see

you. Ensure your reflectors and lights are clean, correctly

positioned, and not obstructed by clothing or accessories.

Check that your lights are working correctly before you

ride, even if you don't anticipate using them. Wear bright

coloured clothing with reflective areas.

SUITABLE CLOTHING

Wear clothing that is suitable for conditions you will ride

in. Wear glasses to protect your eyes from dust, dirt, and

bugs. Wear appropriate shoes that will stay on your feet

and can grip the pedals. Use pedal straps or "clipless"

pedals to prevent your shoes slipping off the pedals while

cycling.

INTENDED USE

SAFETY

CYCLING WITH CARE

You can help prevent accidents by using common sense,

cycling with care, and thinking about your safety. You

need to think about what other cyclists, vehicles, and

pedestrians may do, and react accordingly. Anticipate

potential hazards, such as car doors opening or children

running in front of you. Cycle at an appropriate speed,

stay back from other cyclists and vehicles, and avoid

cycling on the inside of traffic queues. A rear view mirror is

helpful to see what is happening behind you. Help other

road users understand what you are going to do next by

staying visible, maintaining a clear position on the road

and using clear hand signals. Using a horn or bell will help

other people know that you are near.

CYCLING IN BAD WEATHER

Take extra care when the weather is wet, foggy, windy, or

icy. Ride with extra care and brake early, as your tandem

will take longer to stop. Sudden braking could lead to

skidding and loss of control.

CYCLING IN POOR VISIBILITY

Take extra care when riding in the dark, dawn and

dusk, or when visibility is poor. If you have to ride in these

conditions, make sure you can be seen. Use a headlight

(white) and tail-light (red) in addition to the reflectors that

are fitted. Wear light-coloured reflective clothing and

reflective accessories.
