stand is still down! This is for your own
safety and to avoid damage to your
bicycle.
• You must also remove your child from
the child's seat before putting the bicy-
cle stand down and vice versa: fi rst fold
away the stand and then put the child
in the child's seat.
THE STEERING LOCK
Some Batavus bicycles have a steering
lock (39). When the bicycle is parked on
its stand you can place the front wheel
in the 'straight ahead position' with a
simple movement.
To do so, turn the lowest ring to the
right until the red spot is on 'STOP'. To
unlock the steering lock, turn to the
left ('FREE'). In both cases, turn until
you feel the stop.

Note! You must unlock the steering
16
lock before you start cycling. This is for
your own safety.
CHILD'S SEATS
Various recommendations are given
below in the interests of the safety of
parent and child.
Batavus gives preference to a child's
seat at the rear of the bicycle and fi xed
to the frame (vertical back fork or seat
tube). A child's seat mounted on the
front of the bicycle affects the steering.
If, despite this, you opt for a child's
seat on the front of the bicycle, choose
one with a headset mounting (this is
a system for mounting the seat on the
frame) or steering pin mounting and
not one which hangs on the handlebars
themselves. This means that the frame
carries the load rather than the carrier
or the handlebars.
A bicycle with an extra sturdy frame,
roomy, low step-over, broadly construc-
ted handlebars and a very solid stand is
the most appropriate bicycle for child's
(39)
seats on the front and rear of the
bicycle. In the case of the more sporty
bicycles, the use of a child's seat on the
front limits the step-over room.

• You can also consult your Batavus
dealer about dress guards, child's
seats with foot protection to keep
your child's feet out of the way of the
spokes or a spring cover to reduce the
risk of your child's fi ngers from getting
caught between the coiled springs of
the saddle.

SERVICES AND YOUR DEALER
Vital components such as cables, spokes
and brakes get the chance to settle in
the running-in period. Your Batavus
dealer may call you back one or more
times for careful examination and
adjustment or you can call in his help
yourself (40). Furthermore, he will, of
course provide assistance in the event
of breakdowns, doubts, strange noises
or obstinate faults so that he can de-
tect and correct any shortcomings at an
early stage.
