How do you measure the inseam on a bike?
Knowing your bike inseam is crucial for comfort and efficiency while riding. Here's a step-by-step guide to accurately measure your inseam:
- Stand with your feet flat on the floor: Wear the shoes you'll be riding with.
- Position a book/block between your legs: It should touch your crotch and extend below your bottom.
- Measure from the top of the block to the ground: Record this measurement; it's your inseam.
Tips:
- Measure twice to ensure accuracy.
- Round to the nearest 0.5 inches or centimeters.
- If your inseam falls between sizes, opt for the smaller bike and adjust the seat height.
