300 Series Operation & Comfort Tips
Proper adjustment of seat position and knowledge of pedaling cadence will allow effective use of your leg muscles
without producing undue muscular fatigue. Applying these proper techniques will allow you to ride comfortably and
efficiently. The 300 series products are biomechanically designed and are fully adjustable to optimize comfort.
1. Leg Extension: The seat should be positioned such that the leg is almost fully extended when the ball of the foot
is on the pedal and the pedal is in the position furthest from the body. This will allow for great use of more leg
muscles, thereby maximizing cardiovascular benefit while minimizing fatigue.

2. Foot Position: The ball of the foot should be on the pedal, directly over the pedal axle. This position allows you
to maximize the action of your calf muscles. Avoid pedaling with the arch of your foot on the pedal. If toe clips and
straps are attached to the pedals, use them to stabilize your foot on the pedals but do not use them if they place
your foot in an unnatural position.
