To install the seat on your R32, first make sure both quick release
skewers are open. Slide the seat rails onto the main frame track
from the front (see illustration No 1 below)

Slide the seat to the middle
of the track (see illustration

quick release skewers. See
page 4 for details on this.
No. 2
To adjust the seat position for
your leg length, simply loosen
both skewers and slide the seat
forward or back as needed.
Lube your components.
Using your chain lube, or better still, a drip bottle of general bi-
cycle lubricant (NOT "3 in 1" oil), carefully apply drops of lubri-
cant to all the pivot points of the components. Do the brakes and
the derailleur. As you move around the bike examine all the cables
and casing pieces for wear and tear. Also examine the compo-
nents for any damage.
Know your bike.
It's simple—just get to know the feel of your bike. If something
feels different, and you can't figure out what it is, bring your bike
to a shop to have it checked out. All of the components on the
R32 are bicycle standards, and any competent shop can service
it.

Riding a Vision recumbent is no more difficult than riding a tra-
ditional diamond frame bicycle, just slightly different. If you are
new to cycling, you'll find it easy to learn to ride on a Vision. If
you are an experienced rider, you'll have to learn some new hab-
its, but the benefits of riding a recumbent far outweigh the small
learning curve involved. Either way, it's important to spend a
little time adjusting to your new bike before riding in traffic or
committing to a long ride. In this chapter I'm going to discuss
some things that will make the transition to recumbents, or learn-
ing to ride on a recumbent, easier.
First of all, be sure to read the section of this manual about the set
up of the bike. To ride well you have to be comfortable, and to be
comfortable you need to be sure that your Vision is adjusted to fit
you properly.
If you're comfortable on your bike, it's time to go riding. First
and foremost, the most important part of riding any bike is to
wear proper safety equipment. It is essential to wear a helmet, all
the time, anytime you ride. It's also very important to wear gloves
