Before a First Ride

Make Sure Your Bicycle is the Correct Size
Your dealer will help you find a bicycle that has the correct dimensions for your body.
There should be at least 1" (25 mm) clearance between the top tube and you when you
stand over your bicycle. For a mountain bicycle, we recommend 2-3" (50-75 mm)
clearance.
You can adjust the saddle and handlebar to offer the best comfort and performance.
Know How Your Bicycle Operates
The properties of your bicycle, if not used correctly, can decrease your control of the
bicycle. Before you ride fast or in conditions that are a problem, learn the operation
and performance of all the mechanisms of your bicycle, especially brakes and steering
components. Practice the use of your bicycle at slower speeds in a flat, empty parking
area. Repeat this step after any change to your bicycle.
If your bicycle does not operate as necessary, or if different parts are necessary for the
safe operation of your bicycle, speak to your dealer.
