3.0 RIDING
Find a straight, level road without much car traffic for learning
how to ride. DO NOT attempt any U-turns or other sharp turns
until you have mastered slow speed turning, explained in Step 3.3.
Keep your speed at 10-15 mph, as this will prevent your feet from
hitting the front wheel and is more stable than slower speeds.
Finally, look into the distance, not at the front wheel.
3.1 PEDAL TYPE:
The Phantom comes with platform pedals which make learning
to ride easy. If you install clipless pedals, follow these tips:
A) Don't engage when first learning how to ride.
B) Practice unclipping a few times before riding with clipless
pedals. It is best if you practice this while leaning against a
wall, or while someone is holding you up.
3.2 STARTING:
A)
If this is your first experience with a recumbent bicycle, it is
suggested that a friend helps you balance by holding onto the
seat when starting.
Or start on a downhill, coasting at first and then bring your feet
up to the pedals.
B) For starting by yourself, the trick is to have one pedal in the
straight up (power) position, with one foot on this pedal, and
the other foot on the ground. Push hard against the upright
pedal to get moving, then bring your other foot up and catch
the other pedal.
