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.
