BICYCLE SETUP
Correct Bicycle Size
Riding a bicycle that is not correctly sized to the rider may result
in the rider’s feet not being able to touch the ground and
balance the bicycle, properly reach the handlebar for steering or
braking, and loss of control when pedaling.
Use the wheel size in the following table as a guide to match the
rider and bicycle. For example, bicycles with a wheel size of 12
inches t a rider that is 28 to 38 inches tall. Note: Some bicycles
such as folding bicycles may have smaller wheels but sll t
adults.
If the bicycle has a top tube on the frame, check that there is
one to three inches of clearance between the rider and the top
tube. Figure 1.1
Inability to safely reach the handlebars and dismount the
bicycle may result in loss of control of the bicycle. If the
bicycle has a top tube on the frame, ensure there is one to
three inches of clearance between the rider and the top tube.
Improper setup or maintenance of the bicycle may result in
an unexpected movement, loss of control, and serious injury
or death.

Figure 1.2
Improperly adjusted seat height could aect the rider’s ability
to reach the handlebar and pedals may result in an unexpected
movement, loss of control, and serious injury or death. Follow
these guidelines when adjusng the seat height. Always
ensure the seat post minimum inseron marks are below the
seat clamp and cannot be seen. Ensure the seat clamp is
locked and the seat cannot move.
WARNING!
Seat Height and Handlebar Reach
❶Your legs should be almost completely straight when the
pedal is in the down most posion, just a slight bend in
the knee. Figure 1.2
Note: The rider’s feet may not touch the ground easily. If
this is the case the rider can simply move forward o the
seat to mount and dismount the bicycle or the seat can be
adjusted lower if the rider is uncomfortable with the height,
but note that riding is more dicult with the seat too low,
as the legs are in an unnatural posion.
Do not raise the seat so much the knees lock straight when
pedaling or you have to move forward o the seat to pedal.
This is unsafe and the bicycle cannot be controlled in this
condion.
❷You should be able to safely reach the handlebar with
your arms bent slightly (approximately 10 degrees) at
the elbow.
