For BERGAMONT city, trekking and urban bikes, trailers and child carri-
ers are permitted. Note that BERGAMONT will not assume liability for the
use of these trailers and child carriers because of the wide variation in fixation
systems, the technical details of these systems and any associated problem with
these fixation systems.
The use of pannier racks is permitted on BERGAMONT city, trekking and urban
bikes, if the rear stays and the drop-outs of your BERGAMONT bike have fas-
tening devices for pannier racks. In this case mounting a suitable pannier rack is
permitted. Contact your BERGAMONT dealer before mounting.
