These are the keys to increasing your safety in the midst of motor vehicles.
•
Always ride on the right. Go with the fl ow of traffi c, never against it.
•
Be predictable. Maintain a straight line, change direction with out swerv ing, and
use hand signals when turning.
•
Obey all traffi c laws. If you want to be safe in traffi c you have to act like traffi c.
•
Pay attention. Use your eyes and ears as warning devices, alerting you to
potential hazards in time to take action.
•
Assert yourself. Don't let vehicles creep by and force you into parked cars or the
curb. You have a legal right to the lane, so take as much as you need for safety.
•
Ride defensively. Expect a car to pull out from the side street or turn left in front
of you. If you anticipate the worst it will rarely happen.
•
Be visible. Wear bright colors and put refl ectors and refl ective tape on your
bicycle.
•
Shout. It's the quickest, most effective way to let a motorist know that he or
she is putting you in danger, or to alert an inattentive pedestrian that you are
approaching.
VII. Maintenance Schedule
It is essential that you keep your Burley tandem prop er ly main tained. Short cuts or
missed maintenance checks often result in a failure that can leave you strand ed,
or worse, result in accident and serious injury. For your safety and tandeming
enjoyment, follow the maintenance schedule as shown on page 11.
We strongly recommend that you have your Burley dealer or other trained bicycle
mechanic perform all ad just ments, re pairs, and maintenance. This is especially true
for brakes and wheels. If you attempt any adjustments, repairs, or main te nance, you
will need to refer to a bicycle technical service manual (available from most bike
shops), or do the work under the supervision of a trained bicycle mechanic.
When Your Tandem is New
Tandem wheels undergo considerably greater stress than single-bike wheels.
Attention to tandem wheels during the initial 500 miles of riding will reduce long-
term maintenance. We strongly rec om mend you return your tandem to the dealer
for wheel tensioning and truing after the fi rst 200 miles of riding or as soon as you
notice an out-of-true condition or loose spokes.
It is also advisable to have the wheels checked again at 500 miles. These are also
appropriate intervals for the dealer to perform a mechanical check-over in clud ing
brake and derailleur ad just ments, bearing checks, and other safety-related tune-up
procedures. It is not recommended to begin a major tour (loaded or otherwise) on a
tandem that has not been through a break-in period.
