Using this bike is easy. First, adjust the seat and handlebars to a comfortable position. To change gears, simply twist the Shimano Tourney Revo twist grip shifter with your thumb and forefinger. When you need to stop, squeeze the alloy V - brakes gently. Remember, always wear a helmet for safety. When riding in traffic, follow the rules of the road. For maintenance, keep the bike clean. Wipe it down after riding in wet or dirty conditions. Check the tire pressure regularly, as the 700c wheels with 35c hybrid tires need the right pressure for good performance. Also, lubricate the chain every few rides to keep the gearing working smoothly. If you notice any parts are loose or damaged, get them fixed as soon as possible.
