DAY 6 Bicycle Owner's Manual

Owner’s Manual

At Day 6, we hope you will enjoy riding our bicycles as much as we enjoy
designing them. We have truly combined the best features of a recumbent (feet
on the ground; wide, comfortable seat and back; upright head position; no wrist
stress; easy on and off) with the best features of a traditional bike (dual 26”
wheels, positive steering, classic styling, easy to find replacement parts) to give
you one exceptional biking experience!

If you have any questions about your bicycle, please call the dealer you
purchased the bicycle from or call Day 6 at 888/789-DAY6 (3296).

To activate you warranty, simply call us at 888/789-DAY6 (3296). We will
need the serial number on the bottom of your bike along with your name,
address, phone number, name of dealer you purchased the bike from, and e-mail
address if available. Thank you!
