Using your Pedal Uptown DLX is a piece of cake. Just step through the low - step - through frame to get on. Adjust the seat to your comfort and hold the swept - back handlebars for a relaxed ride. Shift gears using the 1x7 speed Shimano Tourney gearing to suit different terrains. When riding, be aware that the rear rack is not for rack - mounted child seats. For maintenance, regularly check the chain and use the chain cover and double - sided chain guard to protect it. Wipe down the mudguards and the frame after riding, especially if you've been through puddles. Keep the bike in a dry place to prevent rust. Enjoy your rides on this great cruiser bike!
