ABOUT THIS MANUAL
It is important for you to understand your new bicycle. By reading this manual before you go out on your rst ride, you’ll know how to get
beer performance, comfort, and enjoyment from your new bicycle. It is also important that your rst ride on your new bicycle is taken in
a controlled environment, away from cars, obstacles, and other cyclists.
GENERAL WARNING
Bicycling can be a hazardous acvity even under the best of circumstances. Proper maintenance of your bicycle is your responsibility as it
helps reduce the risk of injury. This manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cauons” concerning the consequences of failure to maintain
or inspect your bicycle. Many of the warnings and cauons say “you may lose control and fall.” Because any fall can result in serious injury
or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible injury or death whenever the risk of falling is menoned.

SIZING GUIDE & CHART
When choosing the correct size bicycle, there are some guidelines that will help
you determine the correct t. It is important that you are able to safely mount and
dismount the bicycle, and that while riding you are comfortable and can operate the
brakes, steering and pedal without any added diculty.
The rst rule is when standing over the bicycle, in front of the seat, straddling
the top tube of the bicycle, you should have a minimum of 1-3 inches of clearance.
For ladies frames, pretend there is a top tube, because although you may be able to
straddle the frame, you must also be able to reach the handlebars. Bicycles get longer
as well as taller as you go up in size.
Wheel size is a good starng point, but bicycles vary, so only use wheel size to get
started, aer that, check that the rider can safely reach the handlebars while sll
bending the elbows at least 10 degrees. The saddle height is adjustable, so there is
a range of riders that will t each bicycle. Note that the correct height for the saddle
is not determined by foot – to – oor, but by foot – to pedal. The leg should be almost
completely straight when the pedal is in the down most posion. Just a slight bend in
the knee. This may put the rider in a posion where their feet can not touch the ground
easily. The rider can simply move forward of the saddle while mounng and dismounng
the bicycle. The saddle can be adjusted lower if the rider is uncomfortable this high, but
note that riding is more dicult with the saddle too low, as the legs are in an unnatural
posion. It is common for younger riders who want to feel secure to be able to touch
the ground easily, or any rider who is not comfortable with not being able to touch the
ground. In this case start o with the saddle lower, and raise the seat as condence
in riding is gained. Do not raise the seat so much that the knees lock straight when
pedaling or you have to move forward of the saddle to pedal. This is unsafe and the
bicycle can not be controlled in this condion.
Make sure that while riding you can see ahead of you clearly, steer and brake with
no diculty reaching the brake levers or operang foot brakes. Also be sure you can
mount and dismount the bicycle quickly if the need arises.
Please refer to the separate adjustment areas of this manual for seat and handlebar
adjustments (p. 26 and p. 30)
*Note that some bicycles such as folding bicycles may have smaller wheels but sll t adults.

RIDING POSITION
Saddle Height
In order to obtain the most comfortable riding posion and oer the best possible
pedaling eciency, the seat height should be set correctly in relaon to the rider’s leg
length. The correct saddle height should not cause leg strain from over-extension, and
the hips should not rock from side to side when pedaling. While sing on the bicycle
with one pedal at its lowest point, place the ball of your foot on that pedal. The correct
saddle height will allow the knee to be slightly bent in this posion. If the rider then
places the heel of that foot on the pedal, the leg should be almost straight. (Fig. 2.2)
Under no circumstances should the seat post extend from the frame beyond
its “Minimum Inseron” or “Maximum Extension” mark. If your seat post
extends from the frame beyond these markings, the seat post or frame may
break, which could cause you to lose control and fall. Prior to your rst ride,
be sure to ghten the saddle adjusng mechanism properly. A loose saddle
clamp or seat post binder can cause damage to the bicycle or can cause you
to lose control and fall. Periodically check to make sure that the saddle
adjusng mechanism is properly ghtened.
Reach
To obtain maximum comfort, the rider should not overextend his or her reach when
riding. To adjust this distance, the posion of the seat can be altered in relaon to the
seat post. (Refer to p.30 on how to adjust the seat clamp.) (Fig. 2.3, 2.4)
