Chapter 1: (continued)

* The wheels should be straight and not wobble.

*Squeeze each brake lever to make sure there is no binding and the brake pads press hard enough on the rims to stop the bike. The brake pads should be adjusted so they are 1/16" (2mm) away from the rim when not applied. The brake pads should be centered on the rim and not touching the tire itself.

*The seat quick release skewers should be closed with at least 20 lbs (14kgf) of force (see the skewer diagram).

*Sitting on the bike, swing the handlebars from side to side checking for binding or interference. Check to make sure the stem bolt is tight. The handlebars should not rotate in either direction when 50 lbs of force is applied to either grip.

*On long wheelbase models, check the tightness of the boom pinch bolts and make sure the boom anti-rotate bolt is installed. Do not ride a long wheelbase

VISION without the boom anti-rotation bolt!

*If you are unsure of the condition of your VISION recumbent, Do Not Ride It until the problem has been corrected. If you have any questions at all, see your VISION dealer.

Wear gloves -- with its low center of gravity, you don't fall very far on a recumbent, but you will touch down with your hand first! A set of bicycling gloves will protect your skin.

Wear eye protection Riding down the road at speed is no time to get a bug or dirt stuck in your eye! Goggles, glasses or both will save your sight and protect against a crash.

Practice riding your VISION -- before you mix it up with traffic, spend enough time on your recumbent on a parking lot, driveway or other open area to get used to its unique riding position. Chapter 3 has some important information about riding your VISION.

Never ride at night without a front and rear light!

Experiment with different seat positions, seat angles, and boom lengths during your practice period -- Your VISION recumbent has many adjustments and special features that fit the bike to you. Try them all!
