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 sll 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.
