bicycle, this technique will also prevent the inside pedal from striking the

ground in a turn.

WARNING: Toe Overlap could cause you to lose control and fall.

Ask your dealer to help you determine if the combination of

frame size, crank arm length, pedal design and shoes you

will use results in pedal overlap. Whether you have overlap or

not, you must keep the inside pedal up and the outside pedal

down when making sharp turns.

2. Some bicycles come equipped with pedals that have sharp and

potentially dangerous surfaces. These surfaces are designed to add safety

by increasing grip between the rider’s shoe and the pedal. If your bicycle

has this type of high-performance pedal, you must take extra care to avoid

serious injury from the pedals’ sharp surfaces. Based on your riding style or

skill level, you may prefer a less aggressive pedal design, or chose to ride

with shin pads. Your dealer can show you a number of options and make

suitable recommendations.

3. Toeclips and straps are a means to keep feet correctly positioned and

engaged with the pedals. The toeclip positions the ball of the foot over

the pedal spindle, which gives maximum pedaling power. The toe strap,

when tightened, keeps the foot engaged throughout the rotation cycle of

the pedal. While toeclips and straps give some benet with any kind of

shoe, they work most effectively with cycling shoes designed for use with

toeclips. Your dealer can explain how toeclips and straps work. Shoes with

deep treaded soles or welts which might make it more difcult for you to

insert or remove your foot should not be used with toeclips and straps.

a. Shifting internal gear hub gears

Shifting with an internal gear hub drivetrain is simply a matter of moving the

shifter to the indicated position for the desired gear ratio. After you have

moved the shifter to the gear position of your choice, ease the pressure on

the pedals for an instant to allow the hub to complete the shift.

b. Which gear should I be in?

The numerically lowest gear (1) is for the steepest hills. The numerically

largest gear is for the greatest speed.

Shifting from an easier, “slower” gear (like 1) to a harder, “faster” gear

(like 2 or 3) is called an upshift. Shifting from a harder, “faster” gear to an

easier, “slower” gear is called a downshift. It is not necessary to shift gears

in sequence. Instead, nd the “starting gear” for the conditions — a gear

which is hard enough for quick acceleration but easy enough to let you

start from a stop without wobbling — and experiment with upshifting and

downshifting to get a feel for the different gears. At rst, practice shifting

where there are no obstacles, hazards or other trafc, until you’ve built up

your condence. Learn to anticipate the need to shift, and shift to a lower

gear before the hill gets too steep. If you have difculties with shifting, the

problem could be mechanical adjustment. See your dealer for help.

c. What if it won’t shift gears?

If moving the shift control one click repeatedly fails to result in a smooth

shift to the next gear chances are that the mechanism is out of adjustment.

Take the bike to your dealer to have it adjusted.

E. Pedals

1. Toe Overlap is when your toe can touch the front wheel when you turn

the handlebars to steer while a pedal is in the forwardmost position. This

is common on small-framed bicycles, and is avoided by keeping the inside

pedal up and the outside pedal down when making sharp turns. On any
