Bicycles and stepper bike
Overview, checklist and products with AGR seal of approval
Cycling is healthy, but it is essential to ensure that your bike is adjusted correctly for your height and the type of bike you are riding. To ensure that you are sitting ergonomically in the saddle, you should check and adjust the seat height, saddle position, handlebar height, handlebar angle, saddle angle and seat length individually. An ergonomic bicycle should be individually adjusted – i.e. the saddle, handlebars and pedals, which form the so-called ergonomic triangle. Otherwise, a fitting box can help. This contains templates, measuring tools and instructions for quickly and easily adjusting a bicycle ergonomically at home. And if you prefer to look online, you can find advice at richtigradfahren.de.
If health reasons prevent you from cycling, perhaps you should consider a stepper bike. It combines the advantages of cycling and running, while the upright posture used for cycling is kinder to your back and joints than sitting on a bike.
