Before the tour began, Foundation workers checked that all the bicycles 'tires were well pumped up, their brakes properly adjusted, their handlebars secure and their saddles at the right height, and they accompanied the tour in a small van carrying repair tools and two spare bikes. The children's cycles and those of the three tour leaders were equipped with long red warning flags.
工作人員事先做所有自行車的胎壓、煞車、手把穩定、座椅高度等測試，並在活動時準備載著維修工具的一部小貨車，和兩部預備用的自行車，以備不時之需；小朋友和三位領隊還插上細長的紅色警示旗。
