Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Adjust the seat so that your leg is almost straight when the pedal is in the lowest position.

  2. Step 2

    For a mountain bike adjust the handlebars so that can grasp them comfortably when you are sitting upright.

  3. Step 3

    Ride the bike around for a while and readjust any thing that is uncomfortable.

Tips & Warnings
