USING THE BICYCLE

Ensure you are comfortably seated on the fully assembled and checked bicycle. You must

be able to touch the ground with both feet whilst seated on the saddle.

The best riding position is the one which gives you greatest comfort consistent with good

balance. No two people ride alike but the following hints should help you find the most

comfortable, safe and efficient position.

Correct saddle height is most important. This position can usually be determined by fully

extending the leg (when seated on the saddle) and placing your heel on the pedal with the

pedal at its lowest point. This allows for the most efficient use of the thigh muscles and

makes riding easy. The saddle should be horizontal or with the nose tilted slightly upwards.

The position of the handlebar should be set to allow a comfortable riding position.

Your weight should be balanced so that your hands rest lightly on the handlebars.

This prevents strain on the wrists and forearms when pedalling. If the angle of the

handlebar is adjusted, remember to re-tighten the handlebar securely.
