much care TO have it tit you as you would
in obtaining a gown or a suit of clothes.
= BE sure that when sitting upright
you DO not have to reach to maintain tn
ball OF the foot on the pedal during an
entire revolut ion. In other words when
the PEDAL has reached the most distant
point from the body be sure there is a
slight bend in the leg at the knee.
). Adjust the handle bars at Il level
which. when the arms are fully extended,
Will keep the body in an almost upright
position. In riding long distances the
handle bars should be dropped a tritle. so
