PREPARING YOUR BIKE
Chapter 2
![Page 20: Bicycle Safety](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816202550346895dd22774/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Chapter 2: Preparing Your BikeChecking Your Bike
Before taking your bike out for a ride, there are three major things that need to be checked:
1. Tire Pressure Make sure they are inflated to what is labeled on the tire.
2. Brakes Work Test the breaks to see if they stop the bike when pushed. You should not have had to pull farther then half way on
the lever.3. Gears Shift
Shift through every gear while pedaling the bike Failure to do so could lead to a derailed chain.
![Page 21: Bicycle Safety](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816202550346895dd22774/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Chapter 2: Preparing Your BikeAdjusting Your Bike to Fit
The size of your bike plays a big factor in how well you ride.Which bike do you think is the proper size?
![Page 22: Bicycle Safety](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816202550346895dd22774/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Adjusting Your Bike to Fit
Standing over a Road Bike, there should be 1 to 2 inches between you and the top tube.
Standing over a Mountain Bike, there should be 3 to 4 inches between you and the top tube.
![Page 23: Bicycle Safety](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816202550346895dd22774/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Adjusting Your Bike to Fit
The seat height is an important aspect of your ride.
Too low and the ride will waste a lot of energy and the ride will be uncomfortable.
Too high and you wont be able to reach the bottom of the pedal stroke ground when stopped.
![Page 24: Bicycle Safety](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816202550346895dd22774/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Adjusting Your Bike to Fit
The seat height should be adjusted so that there is a slight bend at the knee when the leg is fully extended.
By adjusting the seat to this height, you will get the most power out of every stroke.
