Riding Safety - Tern Quick Haul D7i Bedienungsanleitung

2.A.3.
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls of your bicycle: brakes (6.C); pedals (6.E); shifting (6.D).
2.A.4.
Be careful to keep body parts and other objects away from the sharp teeth of chainrings,
the moving chain, the turning pedals and cranks, and the spinning wheels of your bicycle.
2.A.5.
Always wear:
• Shoes that will stay on your feet and will grip the pedals. Make sure that shoelaces
cannot get into moving parts, and never ride barefoot or in sandals.
• Bright, visible clothing. Make sure that the clothing is not loose enough to get tangled
in the wheels of the bicycle or snagged by objects at the side of the road or trail.
• Protective eyewear to protect against airborne dirt, dust and bugs and
are tinted when the sun is bright and are clear when it's not.
2.A.6.
Ride at a speed appropriate for the weather and road conditions. Higher speed means higher risk.
2.B. Riding Safety
2.B.1.
Obey all rules of the road and all local traffic laws.
2.B.2.
You are sharing the road or the path with others — motorists,
pedestrians and other cyclists. Respect their rights.
2.B.3.
Ride defensively. Always assume that others do not see you.
2.B.4.
Look ahead, and be ready to avoid:
• Vehicles slowing or turning, entering the road or your lane ahead of you, or coming up behind you.
• Parked car doors opening.
• Pedestrians stepping out.
• Children or pets playing near the road.
• Potholes, sewer grating, railroad tracks, expansion joints, road or sidewalk
construction, debris and other obstructions that could cause you to swerve
into traffic, catch your wheel or cause you to have an accident.
• The many other hazards and distractions which can occur on a bicycle ride.
2.B.5.
Ride in designated bike lanes, on designated bike paths or as close to the edge of the
road as practicable, in the direction of traffic flow or as directed by local governing laws.
2.B.6.
Stop at stop signs and traffic lights; slow down and look both ways at street
intersections. Remember that a bicycle always loses in a collision with a motor
vehicle, so be prepared to yield even if you have the right of way.
2.B.7.
Use approved hand signals for turning and stopping.
2.B.8.
Never ride with headphones. They mask traffic sounds and emergency vehicle
sirens, distract you from concentrating on what's going on around you, and their wires
can tangle in the moving parts of the bicycle, causing you to lose control.
2.B.9.
Check with your Dealer or the Tern website to see if the bicycle is suitable for a passenger, child carrier or
trailer. When carrying a passenger, make sure to follow the proper equipment recommendations set out in 2.E.
2.B.10.
Never carry anything which obstructs your vision or your complete control of the
bicycle, or which could become entangled in the moving parts of the bicycle.
2.B.11.
Never hitch a ride by holding on to another vehicle.
2.B.12.
Don't weave through traffic or make any moves that may surprise people who share the road with you.
2.B.13.
Observe and yield the right of way.
2.B.14.
Never ride your bicycle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
2.B.15.
If possible, avoid riding in bad weather, when visibility is obscured, at dawn, dusk or in
the dark, or when extremely tired. Each of these conditions increases the risk of accidents.
