BICYCLE SAFETY

Before riding your Stretching Bike for the first time, familiarise yourself with the location and operation of all of the quick release levers.
- Ensure that all quick release levers are fully closed for maximum clamping pressure and to avoid accidental release. Failure to secure the quick release levers properly before riding may result in the frame, handlebars or seat to twist or swivel.
- The two quick release levers located on the side of the frame main tube must be parallel with the frame to avoid interference with your legs while pedalling.
- Make sure that the seat post quick release is securely fastened so the seat post does not slip down or twist when you are riding the bicycle.
- Never operate the bicycle if the frame, wheels or quick release levers are damaged.
Recommended safe maximum rider weight allowances: 100 kg
- Proper maintenance and adjustment of your Stretching Bike will greatly increase bicycle safety and performance.
- A smoother ride will be achieved if the tires are inflated to the correct pressure as indicated on side walls of the tires. Always check the tire pressure before riding.
- Reflectors alone are not adequate for riding at night. Front and rear lighting systems are recommended to increase visibility.
- Always wear an approved safety helmet when riding the bicycle.
- The bicycle is designed for all users, however parental supervision is recommended when the bicycle is used by children.
- Remember to comply with all road rules and bicycling safety laws. Use common sense, especially in adverse weather conditions.
- Bicycle Industry Group (BIG) takes no responsibility for accidents resulting from failure to comply with cycling safety laws, careless riding or improper use or lack of maintenance of your bicycle.

FOLDING BIKE INSTRUCTIONS

Some models of folding bikes have a large hinge in the middle that allows folding of the bike for storage or transportation. These instructions explain how to fold and unfold a folding bike.

When operating folding mechanisms, keep fingers and other body parts out from items which are folded. Also keep cables and housing from being pinched, as this can damage the cables.

To adjust the tension of a quick-release

1. More the quick-release lever to the OPEN position [Figure 1.2].
2. With the lever about halfway between the OPEN position and the CLOSED position, tighten the quick-release adjusting nut (Figure 1.3) until finger-light.
3. Place the lever in the palm of your hand and throw the lever as shown in (Figure 1.4) to the CLOSED position.

Inspection

Before every ride, make sure the frame latch, lower stem quick-release, and other quick-release mechanisms are properly adjusted and closed. Check that the frame latch is closed and the frame has become a rigid structure by attempting to move the center of the frame laterally, from side to side. If there is any motion, take your bike to your dealer for service.

Folding and unfolding the bike

Folding is done without tools, and takes only a minute. Before starting, make sure you are familiar with the proper operation of a quick-release.

To lower the saddle

1. Open the seatpost quick-release and lower the saddle to its lowest position.
2. Close the quick-release to hold the seatpost in position (the seat makes an excellent handle).

To fold the pedals

1. Push the end of the pedal directly inward, toward the crankset.
2. Fold the pedal over.
3. Repeat for the other pedal.

To fold the handlebar stem

1. Rotate the lever lock (1.6) away from the lower quick-release.
2. While holding the handlebar to prevent pinching, hold the cables out of the way, and open the lower quick-release (Figure 1.6)
3. Fold the handlebar assembly to its down position

To fold the main frame

1. Open the latch Lock
2. Pull outwards, away from the frame, on the end of the frame latch until the latch opens.
3. While avoiding pinching yourself or cables, fold the bike in half (Figure 1.8)

To unfold frame

Reverse the steps of the folding procedure.

Adjustment

After unfolding the bike, if the frame or the stem is not rigid, the frame latch or lower stem quick-release may need adjustment. If there is any motion at a latch and locked frame hinge or stem, take your bike to your dealer for service.

WARNING

Riding a folding bike with movement at the lower stem quick-release or main frame hinge could cause you to lose control and fall. If the folding frame moves at the stem or frame hinge, take the bike to your service dealer for service.
