WARNING!
Seat Height and Handlebar Reach
❶ Your 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.
❷ You should be able to safely reach the handlebar with
your arms bent slightly (approximately 10 degrees) at
the elbow.
