provide better cushioning from irregu-
larities in the road, resulting in even
more comfort. The saddle pin must be
carefully examined at least a few times
per year. Read the accompanying sad-

T I P S
• Place the saddle in the horizontal
position.
• When you park your bicycle make
sure the saddle is not up against a
rough wall or it will become damaged.
• If it rains the saddle surface may run
slightly. A separate saddle cover is easy
to carry with you and provides good
protection from the rain when the
bicycle is parked.
• Be careful when dismounting from
your bicycle! The back of your coat
can get caught behind the saddle and
cause an accident.
