Incredible Biking advice

Just seen a few lines from this months Sainsburys magazine offering some cycling advice.
"Make sure the saddle is the same height as your handlebars"
Could be ok advice if your bike has a basket on the front I suppose but the rest of the piece is talking about pace/drinks/snacks etc and suggests a few routes.
The next line is brilliant
"Holding the brakes down, rock your bike back and forth.If you feel movement, get the brakes checked."
:shock:

Or your rims. Or your headset. Or your stem...
I think it's great that companies like Sainsburys are getting behind cycling and trying to encourage customers, but they do need to take more care/responsibility with these snippets of "advice" and similar PR material.Ben

Or it could be that the rider has a full suss BSO from JJB and movement is expected0

Its great isn't it, in fact if there is any movement its very likely your brakes are doing a good job
