Cyclist Safety
Initiative
Serotta Custom Bicycles is very concerned with your safety
on the road. Core Cycle shares their concern and as such
we have joined with Serotta in an initiatve to help you
ride safely. We encourage you to read the following message,
download the Serotta Cyclist Safety Initiative document
and perform regular checks on your bike. Your safety is
our biggest concern.
The following is an exerpt from Serotta Custom Bicycles:
"We are hearing more and more stories of serious
accidents due to catastrophic failure of carbon parts -
far more in the last year than any of us in the bicycle
industry should be comfortable with. Broken carbon fiber
seat posts, forks, handlebars - fortunately, most of our
customers are coming through these mishaps without serious
injury. But whenever catastrophic failure is a possibility,
so is serious injury or death. "
There is just too much potentially dangerous product being
ridden by too many uninformed cyclists for any of us in
the industry to sleep well at night. The reasons for these
failures range from bicycles that are under-engineered and
under-built in the name of saving weight, to manufacturing
and testing processes that are under-regulated, to cyclists
that know little about the life cycle, care or durability
of new materials.
It's up to those of us who design, build, sell and repair
these sophisticated machines to do everything in our power
to stop this trend and keep our customers safe.Just as an
airline pilot or race car driver visually inspects his or
her equipment on a regular basis, so should a cyclist.
By taking the lead in preventative care, we can save cyclists
from potentially serious or fatal injury."
