Using the Tern Sidekick Footrests is easy. Just attach them to your bike's rear rack according to the instructions. Make sure they are securely fastened before your passenger gets on. When your passenger sits on the bike, they can rest their feet comfortably on the footrests. For safety, always check that the footrests are in good condition before each ride. If the 3M non - slip paper starts to wear out, you can replace it. To maintain the footrests, clean the aluminum deck regularly with a mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface. Store the footrests in a dry place when not in use to prevent rusting.
