Riding the S3 Bike
Pedal, steer and shift through the routes just like you
would on a real bike. You’ll find the experience is
much like riding outdoors!
For best results:
Pedal at a cadence of at least 50rpm. The faster you
pedal, the faster you will move through the virtual
world. Pedal resistance is a function of your gear and
the slope. When you start going uphill, you’ll feel the
resistance increase, and you’ll have to work harder.
Use the shifting buttons to adjust from gear 1-30.
Adjust the gear lower for less resistance (less difficult)
but slower speed, and adjust the gear higher for more
resistance (more difficult) and faster speed.
