Storage

Keep your bicycle in a dry location away from the weather and the sun. Ultraviolet rays may cause paint to fade or rubber and plastic parts to crack. Before storing your bicycle for a long period of time, clean and lubricate all components and wax the frame. Deflate the tires to half pressure and hang the bicycle off the ground. Don't store near electric motors as ozone emissions may effect the rubber and paint. Don't cover with plastic as "sweating” will result which may cause rusting. Please notice that your bicycle warranty does not cover paint damage, rust, corrosion, dry rot or theft.

Security

It is advisable that the following steps be taken to prepare for and help prevent possible theft.

1.Maintain a record of the bicycle’s serial number, generally located on the frame underneath the bottom bracket.

2.Register the bicycle with the local police.

3.Invest in a high quality bicycle lock that will resist hack saws and bolt cutters. Always lock your bicycle to an immovable object if it is left unattended.
