A bicycle can have quite a few interlocking parts that all serve their specific functions. Some of those function are necessary to the use of a bike, like using the handlebars to steer. Other parts are important for your safety, such as having reflectors on the wheels and pedals. And still other parts are not necessary, but might be nice to have, like a water bottle holder or a bike seat bag.

One part that the bike that doesn’t get enough focus is the seat. Having the seat adjusted at the proper height is very important for your joint health and for your comfort while riding.

Setting the seat in it’s proper place is very easy to do. The way to go about it is to rotate the pedals so that one of them is at the bottom of its rotation and then place you foot on the pedal and bend you knee to approximately a 25 to 30 degree angle. Then you adjust the seat so that the height you’re sitting at matches that 25 – 30 degree angle on your knee. On the frame where the seat post goes into the frame, there is a clamp that is tightened to keep the seat at the desired height.

Almost. There are a few times when riding your bike where it may be necessary to readjust your seat height. Some mountain bike scenarios require a lower seat for safety and some other situations require higher or lower seat placement. In order to easily return to the correct height, it is typical for bicyclists to mark the seat post at the correct height for them.

The most important reason to set your seat at the proper height for your body is because if the seat is too high or too low, you might find yourself straining your knees to give the pedals a full rotation.
