Bike&Fly harness BNF1 can act as standard paragliding harness without its metal frame, but this is not actually the point. Let's talk about its unique feature, about capability to carry bicycle or another load up to 25 kg. Please check user manual for detailed description. Bike&Fly harness provides unique advantages, but it also takes something. There are metal frame and load attached to harness, so in case of accident, this additional stuff don't help you in this situation. Therefore this is not gear for beginners, there are some necessary skills needed. Pilot has to be able evaluate conditions, able to take off reverse or front, or land on legs. On the other hand, there is no reason to be scared if pilot knows what she/he is doing, PPG pilots have 20 kg of metal on back, 10 liters of gasoline under their ass and moving blade right behind the head :)

The most important for high enjoyment is:

• Properly set harness - use static stand to adjust harness with attached load.
• Practice to attach load prior the first flight.
• Use rear wheel protector to avoid line to get stuck in mountain bike tire profile.
• Don't jump info air while take off, this is anyway valid commonly.
• When landing, get up in harness, don't land while sitting.
