Directions

Before the meeting:

During the meeting:

Have Cub Scouts surround the bike as you demonstrate how to adjust the seat.
Explain to the Cub Scouts that you know your bike seat is at the right height if you can keep your hips stable on the bike instead of rocking them back and forth to reach the bottom of the pedal stroke. When your foot is at the lowest point while pedaling, you want your knee to be slightly bent, not locked out completely straight or curved.
Using the EDGE method do the following:
- E: Explain how to adjust the seat: “You pull the lever under the seat away from the bar, and it should loosen.”
- D: Demonstrate how to adjust the seat, while you are explaining how to do it.
- G: Guide each Cub Scout by giving them the ability to try to do it on their own and assisting them if they need it.
- E: Enable them to take a turn adjusting their own seat.
Have each Cub Scout adjust the seat of the bike so that is proper for them.
