As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safety of your
minor child, and that includes making sure that the bicycle is properly fitted to the
child; that it is in good repair and safe operating condition; that you and your child
have learned and understand the safe operation of the bicycle; and that you and
your child have learned, understand and obey not only the applicable local motor
vehicle, bicycle and traffic laws, but also the common sense rules of safe and
responsible bicycling. As a parent, you should read this manual, as well as review
its warnings and the bicycle's functions and operating procedures with your child,
before letting your child ride the bicycle.
WARNING: Make sure that your child always wears an approved
bicycle helmet when riding; but also make sure that your child
understands that a bicycle helmet is for bicycling only, and must
be removed when not riding. A helmet must not be worn while
playing, in play areas, on playground equipment, while climbing
trees, or at any time while not riding a bicycle. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Make sure that your child's bicycle is sized correctly,
so that when the saddle is adjusted correctly, both feet can touch
the ground. If your child's new bike doesn't fit, ask your dealer to
exchange it before you ride it.
A special note for parents:
