3.2 SAFETY IN PUBLIC TRAFFIC
DANGER
RISK OF ACCIDENTS DUE TO INCORRECT BEHAVIOR IN ROAD TRAFFIC!
You as a cyclist are the weakest link in road traffic. Accidents involving other road users usually end with serious consequences for cyclists!
• Follow the rules of public road traffic and all local traffic regulations.
• Drive concentrated, anticipatory and defensive. Always assume that other road users do not see you.
• Wear a helmet and highly visible and reflective clothing for each ride.
DANGER
RISK OF ACCIDENT DUE TO INSUFFICIENT EQUIPMENT FOR USE ON PUBLIC ROADS!
The equipment prescribed for bikes for use on public roads is primarily intended to ensure the visibility of cyclists. If you as a cyclist are not recognized or are recognized too late, accidents with serious
consequences can happen.
• Your bike must be equipped with all country-specific components required for public road traffic!
• In addition to the risk of accident, failure to comply with the regulations can lead to the imposition of fines and loss of insurance cover.
• For rides abroad or cross-border rides, observe the legal requirements applicable there.
In Germany the necessary equipment for public road traffic is regulated in the "Straßenverkehrs-Zulassungs-Ordnung" (StVZO).
The following equipment must be fitted when you use your bike in traffic at dusk, at night or when visibility conditions otherwise require it:

3.3 DUTY OF CARE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RIDER
Following the instructions specified in this manual does not absolve the riders from their duty of care to ensure that their bike is always in good condition. If you have any questions, a qualified bicycle
mechanic or the PROPAIN service must be consulted.
As it is impossible to foresee all situations or circumstances that may occur during riding, this user manual does not guarantee the safe use of the bike under all conditions. There are risks associated with
the use of bikes that cannot be predicted or avoided and are the sole responsibility of the rider.
3.4 INTENDED USE
The intended use of PROPAIN bikes is divided into five different categories – ranging from the riding on paved roads through to downhill or freeride use. The bikes must only be used in accordance with their
intended purpose/use. Otherwise the user shall assume responsibility. A sticker on the frame of your bike will show you the intended use.
