Set the saddle to a comfortable height, then close the seat tube quick

Pedals
12.
Find the pedals in your parts box. Grease the threads
them securely into the crank arms using a 15mm open-end
wrench
(Photo L). Note that the pedals have opposite thread directions
and must go on a specific side of the bicycle. The pedal meant for the
drive-side (the side of the bicycle with the chain and gears) has a standard
thread, which is tightened clockwise. The non-drive-side pedal has a
reverse, non-standard thread. It must be turned counter-clockwise to be
screwed in. The pedals are marked 'R' and 'L' for "Right" and "Left."
