reFleCTOrs & lIGHTs
Your Bigfish folding bike is supplied with
front, rear and wheel reflectors.
Use front and rear bicycle lights and
reflectors, particularly when riding in dark
or overcast conditions.
Bicycle reflectors are designed to pick
up and reflect car lights and street lights
in a way that may help you to be seen
and recognized as a moving bicyclist.
The reflectors are an important safety
and legal requirement, and should
remain securely fitted and in good, clean
condition at all times.
Periodically, inspect all reflectors,
brackets and mounting hardware for signs
of wear or damage. Replace immediately
if damage is found. Check regularly if they
are clean and securely mounted in their
correct position.
We recommend that you always have a
set of lights on your Bigfish folding bike.
Riding at night without lights is dangerous
and against the law.
REFLECTORS ATTACHMENT
Mount a clear front reflector on your
handlebar stem or handlebar (A), parallel
with the ground and facing directly in
front of you. This allows oncoming cars to
see you as they approach.
Mount a clear rear reflector on your
seatpost (B), parallel with the ground and
facing straight back. This allows cars
to see you as they approach you from
behind.
Place wheel reflectors on the front and
rear wheel (C). Mount each of the wheel
reflectors between two wheel spokes.
The reflectors on the pedals are already
attached (D).
If you are unsure of the best mounting
for your bike, consult with a profession-
al bicycle technician for suggestions.
Be sure that the reflectors are mounted
securely on your bike.
Make sure you use lights that operate
correctly and that batteries are charged.
Do NOT remove the front or rear reflectors or reflector
brackets from your bicycle. They are an integral part of the
bicycle’s safety system. Removing the reflectors reduces
your visibility to others using the roadway. Being struck by
other vehicles may result in serious injury or death.
Reflectors are NOT a substitute for required lights. Riding
at dawn, at dusk, at night or at other times of poor visibility
without an adequate bicycle lighting system and without
reflectors is dangerous, often illegal, and may result in
serious injury and/or death. If you choose to ride under
conditions of poor visibility, check and be sure you comply
with all local laws about night riding.
