BICYCLE SETUP
WARNING!
Inability to safely reach the handlebars and dismount the
bicycle may result in loss of control of the bicycle. If the
bicycle has a top tube on the frame, ensure there is one to
three inches of clearance between the rider and the top tube.
Improper setup or maintenance of the bicycle may result in
an unexpected movement, loss of control, and serious injury
or death.
Correct Bicycle Size
Riding a bicycle that is not correctly sized to the rider may
result in the rider's feet not being able to touch the ground and
balance the bicycle, properly reach the handlebar for steering
or braking, and loss of control when pedaling.
Use the wheel size in the following table as a guide to match
the rider and bicycle. For example, bicycles with a wheel size of
12 inches fit a rider that is 28 to 38 inches tall. Note: Some
bicycles such as folding bicycles may have smaller wheels but
still fit adults.
If the bicycle has a top tube on the frame, check that there is
one to three inches of clearance between the rider and the top
tube. Figure 1.1
