Good thing. The sticker is required by the CPSCis the bike is not properly equipped for riding at night and/or is likely to be sold by a retail outlet whose employees are unlikely to familiarize the buyer with what local laws are.

Why on earth would you be concerned about a safety warning on a bike sold exclusively at Walmart?

id assumed it was for legal reasons, but still

DO NOT RIDE AT NIGHT!!1!

is a hilarious command

legalities >>> common sense, in this society

Duh - am I the only one who has heard of vampires?

the bike is not properly equipped for riding at night

First thing I thought when I saw the picture of the whole bike. You SHOULDN'T ride that bike how it's standardly equipped at night.

Also it's probably a liability thing, sue-happy Americans and all.

You got it all wrong; Walmart bicycles are made and sold by blood sucking vampires. Salvation will come from a carbon fiber stake brandished by a Serious Cyclist through the Merchant of Death's black heart. Ain't that right, Mr/Ms OP? :rolleyes:

This is another benefit of riding old classics -- no stupid warning labels. :)

It's either a taxi service, in case you're still riding at sunset, or for Domino's pizza and you can get a ride back with the delivery guy.

One of my friends has a department store hardtail MTB with a sticker warning against riding off road!

I'm proud of that sticker on my ZooBomb Magna High Fashion.


Mine says

Be Safe Wear a Helmet
Obey Traffic Laws
Do Not Ride at Night


:D

Not a safety sticker but a warning nonetheless:

^^^ Careful, that sticker may get your bike cut up in little pieces when some security guard starts looking for the explosive. It has happened before.

Vampires? Meh. It's the zombies you have to be afraid of. ;)
