BICYCLE

OWNER’S MANUAL

PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST

Are you wearing a helmet and other appropriate equipment

and clothing, such as protective glasses and gloves? Do not

wear loose clothing that could become entangled in the bicycle

(See PART I, Section 2.A The Basics).

Are your seatpost and stem securely fastened? Twist the

handlebars ﬁrmly from side to side while holding the front

wheel between your knees. The stem must not move in the

steering tube. Similarly, the seatpost must be secure in the seat

tube (See PART I, Section 3. Fit).

Are you visible to motorists? If you are riding at dusk, dawn or

at night, you must make yourself visible to motorists. Use front

and rear lights and a strobe or blinker. Reﬂectors alone do not

provide adequate visibility. Wear reﬂective clothing (See PART

I, Section 2.E Night Riding and PART II, A. Important Safety

Information).

Is it raining or wet? If so, be more cautious. Your braking

distances will increase, and your tires’ grip on the road will

decrease. Remember that motorists’ visibility decreases with

bad weather (See PART I, Section 2.D Wet Weather Riding and

PART II, A. Important Safety Information).

Are your tires properly inﬂated? Tires must inﬂated to the

recommended pressure. (See PART I, Section 4.G Tires and

Tubes).

Are your wheels true? Lift each end of the bike and spin each

wheel. Does the space between the rim and the brake pads,

or the tire and the frame, remain nearly the same size as the

wheel turns? Are your spokes tight? (See PART I, Section 1.C

Mechanical Safety Check).

Are your wheels’ quick-releases properly fastened? Be sure to

read the section on proper operation of quick-release skewers

(See PART I, Section 4.A Wheels).

Are your front and rear brakes functioning properly? With

V-brakes, the quick release “noodle” must be properly installed.

With cantilever brakes, the quick release straddle cable must

be properly attached. With caliper brakes the quick release lever

must be closed. With any rim brake, the brake pads must make

ﬁrm contact with the rim without the brake levers hitting the

handlebar grip (See PART I, Section 4.C Brakes).

With hydraulic disc brakes, check that the lever feels ﬁrm,

does not move too close to the handlebar grip, and there is no

evidence of leaking brake ﬂuid. With cable actuated disc brakes,

check that the lever feels ﬁrm and does not move too close to

the handlebar grip. With any disc brakes, the brake pads must

make ﬁrm contact with the rotor without the brake levers

hitting the handlebar grip (See PART I, Section 4.C Brakes).

How do your clipless pedals work today? Clip in and out of

your pedals before you begin. Experienced cyclists do. The

connection between cleat and pedal is aected by dozens of

factors including dirt, mud, lubrication, spring tension and wear.

By clipping in and out you will check the function and have a

fresh memory of how they feel (See PART I, Section 4.E Pedals).

How recently were your frame, fork and components

inspected? Never ride a frame, fork or components with any

crack or damage. (See PART II, Section D. Inspect For Safety).
