Make Sure Your Bike Is A Perfect Fit

For a comfortable and safe ride, it’s important that your bike’s saddle is positioned correctly.

Adjust the height of the saddle so that your leg is slightly bent when the peddle is at its lowest point. Then move the saddle backwards and forwards until your knee is over the pedal, with the cranks horizontal.

The bolt under the saddle that allows you to set the horizontal position also allows you to adjust the angle – it should be nearly flat.

Remember – if you cannot stand comfortably astride the bike, it is too big for you.

Nearly all modern bikes are fitted with socket head screws – not bolts – so you will need a set of Cyclo Allen Keys to adjust the riding position and carry out other safety checks.

Cyclo Mini Y Wrenches will fit most of the nuts and bolts used.
