Using this Pedal Uptown DLX cruiser bike is a piece of cake. Just hop on, adjust the seat to your comfort, and start pedaling. It's great for casual rides around town or trips to the park. When it comes to shifting gears, the 1x7 speed Shimano Tourney gearing is simple to use. Just find the right gear for your riding speed and terrain. Remember, the rear rack can't be used with rack - mounted child seats. For maintenance, keep the chain clean and lubricated regularly. The customized chain cover and double - sided chain guard will help protect the chain, but a little care goes a long way. Wipe down the bike after riding in the rain or through puddles to prevent rust, especially on the color - matched mudguards. If you're not using the bike for a while, store it in a dry place.
