Getting injured will really put a damper on your good vibes, so be sure to follow these instructions.
- Inspect the bike prior to the riding to make certain that all parts are operating properly.
- Ensure that Adjustment Knobs (for seat height, fore and aft and handlebar) are tight and do not interfere with the rider’s range of motion during class.
- The maximum weight on the bike should not exceed 350 pounds.
- Keep hands, feet and objects free of moving parts of the bike at all times.
- To stop your bike, you should always gradually stop and try to avoid sudden stops. In the case of emergency to stop immediately press down on the resistance knob.
- Never turn the wheel by hand.
- Listen to your body at all times and ride at the pace that feels right for you.
- If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, have difficulty breathing or have a tightening in your chest, bring your bike to a gradual stop and ask for assistance.
- Stay hydrated and drink throughout the ride. Take as many breaks as your body needs.
- Always have some resistance on the bike so that the pedals do not rotate freely.
- Do not attempt to do movements or change positions fast before you have practiced them at slower speeds. Stay in control of the bike at all times.
- Do not use the bike without proper footwear. Never ride in bare feet. The bike pedals are compatible with SPD and Look clips.
- Never remove your feet while the bike is still in motion.
- Focus on form and posture throughout the ride.
- Keep your bike clear of obstructions on the floor (i.e. clothes etc.)
- If the bike is not operating correctly, please slow the pedals to a controlled stop, dismount the bike and inform the instructor.
- Do not dismount the bike until the pedals have fully stopped. Use the Resistance Adjustment Knob to slow the pedals to a controlled stop before you dismount the bike.
- After each use of the bike, please wipe down the bike.
- Keep children away from the bike. Parts that move and appear dangerous to adults can appear safe to children.
- Children under 4’11 should not ride the bike. The bike is designed for riders 4’11 and above.
