If you place your foot in its proper position for
cycling, your leg should now be lightly bent.
Your foot is in the right position for cycling
when its widest part is right above the pedal
spindle.
Children and people who are not
confident cyclists should be able to
touch the ground with the tips of both
feet. Otherwise, when stopping they run the
risk of falling and suffering serious injury.
If you are using clipless pedals, the pedal plates
should be adjusted so as to ensure your foot is in
this position. This prevents damage to your mus-
culoskeletal system and ensures the best pos-
sible delivery of power.

Setting up the angle of the seat
When you have set the height of the seat, you
have to check that the angle of the seat is suit-
able. In general, the upper surface of the seat
should be horizontal. You can adjust this by loos
-
ening the clamping bolts in the seat post.
