In recent years, with the introduction of a five-day workweek by companies, there is an increase in the number of office workers who enjoy hiking on weekends and enjoy hiking (traveling for the purpose of physical training or tourism). In recent years, the demand for sales of bicycles, A bicycles, which are recommended by the national level as a part of pollution control and resource conservation, have been increasing rapidly.

As described above, it is well known that the above-mentioned bicycles are manufactured and sold in a structure capable of adjusting the height of the saddle required for boarding, and the user places them on a pedal located at a bottom dead center near the ground after boarding the bicycle. Adjusting the gap between the saddle and the pedal so that the legs are bent at about 15 ° is ideal for the act of rolling clouds that can generate propulsion for maximum bicycle driving.

However, the ideal spacing between the saddle and the pedal during driving as described above is not stable because it is a somewhat high position to completely land the sole of the user on the ground during stopping or getting off and on.

As a result, they can exert maximum propulsion when driving, but it is not easy to land the soles on the ground, such as when stopping and getting on and off. come.

On the contrary, when the saddle is lowered and the distance from the pedal is narrowed for the purpose of maintaining stability when stopping or getting on and off, the foot can be easily landed on the ground, indicating stability. The bending angle is inevitably excessive, and in order to increase the maximum power on an uphill road, it causes damage to the leg joints due to rapid stamina consumption due to excessive rolling action and long rolling action in an uncomfortable posture.
