4. PARKING YOUR BICYCLE
When the bicycle is resting on its
stand or against a wall, fence or
railings, even the slightest con-
tact may cause it to tip over. This
may result in injuries to persons
or animals and damage to prop-
erty.
Park your bicycle only in a posi-
tion where it does not constitute
an obstacle.
Keep children and animals
away from the bicycle when it is
parked.
Do not park your bicycle close to
objects that are easily damaged,
such as motor vehicles, etc.
How to park your bicycle correctly:
-
Position the bicycle on a flat, stable surface.
-
When the bicycle is stationary, lower the stand
using your right foot until it clicks into place.
-
Rotate the handlebars so that they are facing
slightly to the left.
-
Gently tilt the bicycle to the left until it reaches
a stable position.
-
Check that the bicycle is stable.
-
Hold the bicycle still with one hand by grasp-
ing it lightly by the handlebars or the saddle
and, using the other hand, strike it gently in
either direction in the area of the saddle. If it
seems that the bicycle may fall over, move it to
a more stable position.
