A properly adjusted seat is extremely important in any bike-oriented exercise activity and the Lifecycle exercise bike
is no exception. If the seat is too close, excessive strain will be placed on the knees and quadriceps muscles; if the
seat is too far, the resulting reaching action will irritate the feet, ankles, hips and knees.
Sit on the seat and place the balls of your feet on the pedals. An optimum position will allow you to move through
the bottom of the stroke without locking your knees or shifting in the seat (your knees should have a slight bend at
the point of fullest leg extension).

If the seat needs to be adjusted, dismount the bike. Pull
out the adjusting pin located on the front of the seat post.
Slide the seat post up or down as necessary to the proper
position and re-insert the pin to complete engagement.
Check the seat height again and readjust it if necessary.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to adjust the seat
while you are pedaling the bike. Doing so or
failing to insert the seat pin completely may result
in an uncomfortable workout or cause injury.
MISE EN GARDE :
Ne pas essayer d’ajuster la selle pendant le pédalage. Tout ajustage en cours de
fonctionnement ou toute insertion incomplète de la goupille de la selle pourrait nuire à l’exercice ou
entraîner des blessures.
