To stabilize it, rotate the foot on the stabilizer bar that appears to be higher counter-clockwise (as viewed from above) with your finger until the bike is level. Tighten the locknut. 6

Sit on the seat and place the balls of your feet on the pedals. An optimum position will allow you to move through the bottom of the stroke with
