6. Wear protective eyewear to protect against airborne dirt, dust and bugs. Tinted protective eyewear should
be used when the sun is bright, clear protective eyewear when it's not.
7. Ride at a speed which is appropriate for the current conditions. Increased speed will always mean there is a
higher risk of an accident occurring.
Riding Safety:
1. Observe all local bicycle laws and regulations. Observe regulations about the licensing of electrical bicycles (if
applicable), riding on sidewalks, laws regulating correct bicycle pathways and trail use and so on.
2. If you are sharing the road or the path with others, for example motorists, pedestrians and/or other cyclists,
respect their rights also.
3. Always ride cautiously, assume that others do not see you.
4. Look ahead and be ready to avoid vehicles slowing or turning, vehicles entering the road or the lane ahead of
you, or vehicles coming up behind you.
5. Look out for parked car doors opening or pedestrians stepping out in front of you. Are there children or pets
playing near the road? If so, take the necessary extra care needed to pass safely.
6. Look out and avoid potential hazardous potholes, sewers, railroad tracks, expansion joints, road or sidewalk
construction, debris and other obstructions that could cause you to swerve into traffic, catch your wheel or
otherwise cause you to lose control, causing a potential accident.
7. Ride in designated bicycle lanes or paths where possible. Ride as close to the edge of the road as is safely
possible, in the direction of the traffic flow or as directed by local laws.
8. Stop at 'stop signs' and traffic lights; slow down and look both ways at street intersections. Remember that a
bicycle always loses in a collision with a motor vehicle... For your own safety, be prepared to yield even if you
believe you have the right of way.
9. Use approved hand/arm signals for turning and stopping.
10. Never ride with headphones on... They can mask traffic sounds and emergency vehicle sirens, whilst also
distracting you from what's going on around you. The headphone wires can also tangle in the moving parts
of the electric bicycle, causing you to lose control.
11. Never carry a passenger unless it is a small child wearing an approved helmet and secured in a correctly
mounted child carrier or a child-carrying trailer. Follow the child carrier or child carrying trailer's
manufacturer's recommendations regarding recommended usage and weight limits.
12. Never carry anything which obstructs your vision or the complete control of the electric bicycle, or anything
which could become entangled in the moving parts of the electric bicycle.
13. Never hitch a ride by holding on to another vehicle.
14. Don't do stunts, wheelies or jumps. They can cause you injury and damage your electric bicycle.
15. Don't weave through traffic or make any moves that may surprise people with whom you are sharing the
road.
16. Observe and yield the right of way.
17. Never ride your bicycle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
18. If possible, avoid riding in bad weather, or when visibility is obscured, for example in fog, dusk or in the dark.
19. Never ride when extremely tired. Each of these conditions in points 17, 18 and 19 increases the risk of an
accident occurring.
Wet Weather Riding:
WARNING: Wet weather impairs traction, braking and visibility, both for the cyclist and for other vehicles sharing the
road. The risk of an accident is dramatically increased in wet conditions.
Under wet conditions, the stopping power of your brakes (as well as the brakes of other vehicles sharing the road) is
dramatically reduced and your tyres don't grip nearly as well as they would in dry conditions. This makes it harder to
control speed and thus; easier to lose control. To make sure that you can slow down and stop safely in wet
conditions, ride more slowly and apply your brakes earlier, gradually applying the brake until you come to the
desired speed or a complete stop.
Night Riding:
