Correct Frame Size - Dynacraft SINGLE SPEED Owner's Manual

CORRECT FRAME SIZE

When selecting a new bicycle, the correct choice of frame size is a very important safety consideration.
CAUTION
For safe and comfortable riding there should
be a clearance of no less than 1 inch between
the inseam area of the intended rider and the
top tube of the bicycle frame, while the rider
straddles the bicycle with both feet flat on the
ground.
SAFE SIZING FOR JUVENILE AND SIDEWALK BICYCLES
It is assumed that the bicycle you have bought is sized correctly for the user. Some parents make the mistake
of buying a bicycle too large for the intended rider, planning on the child "growing into" it. There should be a
minimum of 1 inch clearance above the highest point of the top tube when the child is straddling the bicycle
with both feet on the ground (see drawing below).

WARNING
If the bicycle is too large the rider cannot reach
the pedals easily, or the ground when stopping
which may result in loss of control and/or injury.
