CHAPTER TWO: RIDING YOUR BIKE

Set your weight before every workout. This allows the CS8.0 bike to control your workout more effectively. See the Personal Power section in Chapter 5 for more information.

The body weight setting does not affect the calorie expenditure

calculation. Unlike treadmills or other weight-bearing exercises, calories burned during exercise biking does not change with different body weights. (See ACSM’s Guidelines, Bibliography.)

Adjust the seat so that your knee is slightly bent when your leg is fully extended with your feet on the pedals.

While standing next to the bike, pull out the seat adjust knob and lower the seat to the lowest position. Next, get onto the bike with one leg fully extended in a pedal, supporting most of your weight. Grasp the horn of the seat and pull it up under you to a snug fit, letting the ratcheting mechanism lock the knob and pin in place.
