Through a variety of design and model changes it is possible that the included instructions are
not up to date. If necessary, review the separately attached instructions.

The following are a few things that we cyclists hold very dear. Always take care in trac as
not to endanger yourself or others. Respect the rules of the road so you don’t draw the ire of
other road users. If you tour through forests and meadows, please respect nature by cycling
only on marked or paved roadways. Observe the legal requirements for the o-road use of bi-
cycles, which are available from your local authorities. Never ride without a helmet and make
sure you always wear appropriate clothing.
We hope you enjoy your new Birdy!
