TESTING THE BIKE Use this checklist to perform the bike test procedure.

RPM. RPM rates vary dramatically based on the type of ride you are doing (endurance vs. strength). The Johnny G Spirit Bike can display pedal rates up to 150 RPM. If unsure how to properly use the bikes RPM capabilities and resistance system adjustment, seek the help from a qualified indoor cycling instructor or take a class at your local indoor cycling facility as they will teach you how to ride properly and safely.
Page 27
SEAT ADJUSTMENTS Proper bike setup gives you a more comfortable ride and reduces your risk of injury. Proper seat height helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury. Adjust the seat height so that the knee joint is slightly flexed when the extended leg is at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Once the proper height has been achieved, adjust the seat forward or back so that when the feet are in the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions, the forward knee is directly over the pedal axle.
Page 28
Position the handlebar at the same height as your seat, or higher if you feel any discomfort in your back. The Johnny G Spirit Bike allows for adjustment of handlebar height. Additionally, the bike allows for fore and aft adjustment of the handlebar.
Page 29
RESISTANCE CONTROL The bike allows the user full control over the magnetic resistance by simply pressing on the + and – Keys, located at two locations; either the Forward Control Pad or the Handlebar Shifters. Providing two resistance adjustment locations was done for the riders’ convenience. The Forward Control Pad is ideally positioned for when the rider is in the saddle and hands are in home position or position-one.

FUNCTIONAL THRESHOLD POWER Power/Watts – What is it? It has been said that from a coaching perspective the Watt is the measurement of truth: why is this? Because you either can perform at a set wattage at a given time or you can’t, the response is instant. For the coach and athlete this is very useful as it provides unequivocal feedback of what has been performed in terms of intensity, duration and total workload.
