PACIFIC CYCLES BIRDY, Owner'S Manual

Riding Position Adjustment

The correct riding position is critical to achieve optimal comfort, safety and pedaling efficiency. 
Pacific  Cycles  folding  frames  and  components  have  a  wide  range  of  adjustment  to  cover  all 
size requirements with one frame.

The correct seat height will maintain a slight bend of the leg at the bottom of the pedal stroke. If 
adjusted  correctly  at  this  height,  the  hips  should  also  not  rock  from  side  to  side  to  reach  the 
bottom of the pedal stroke. If hip rocking occurs, lower the seat so it does not continue to do so. 
Ensure the seat-post is not extended beyond the maximum height indicated by markings on the 
seat-post.

The cockpit length and position is adjustable with multiple stem positions or adjusting the seat 
on  its  rails.  Set  the  distance  from  the  seat  to  the  handlebars  for  the  desired  comfort.  Please 
note the adjustment extremes indicated on the seat rails.
