On the 8500: The pedals on the Lifecycle exercise bike have footstraps with slits on both the inside
and the outside of each strap. The straps are held in place by two knobs that extend sideways
from either side of each pedal. To tighten or loosen a strap, grasp the outer end, and pull it back,
away from the knob, until the strap slides off. Rest the foot on the pedal, and wrap the strap over
the foot to determine the proper length. Select the appropriate slot on the strap, and pull that slot
down over the knob, until the top of the knob pops through the slot. A click indicates that the
strap is locked into place.
