Using your Pedal Uptown Cruiser Bike is a breeze. Just hop on, adjust the seat to your comfort, and start pedaling. Use the Shimano 7 - speed twist shifter to change gears according to the terrain. For flat roads, a higher gear can help you cruise faster, while a lower gear is great for climbing hills. When you need to stop, simply squeeze the high - quality dual - pivot brakes gently. Make sure to keep the chain clean and lubricated regularly to ensure smooth operation. Check the air pressure in the tires before each ride to maintain a good ride quality. The fully customised chain cover and double - sided chain guard protect the chain, but still, keep an eye on it for any signs of wear. Remember, the rear rack is not suitable for rack - mounted child seats. If you have the matching basket, you can use it to carry small items on your rides.
