Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to select and adjust a bicycle to suit its rider. It involves gathering rider information and matching the bicycle to the rider’s ability and cycling requirements, adjusting the bicycle to fit, and completing workplace processes and documentation.

It applies to those working in the bicycle retail, service and repair industry.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

select, fit and adjust three different bicycles to suit riders with differing requirements and builds.

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to adjusting bicycles, including procedures for manually handling bicycles

environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of waste grease and oils

procedures for use, maintenance and storage of specialist bicycle tools and equipment, including personal protective equipment (PPE)

bicycle types, categories and trends

key bicycle terminology

bio-mechanical principles of cycling

techniques and procedures for selecting and adjusting bicycles, including:

bicycle components and assembly methods

bicycle measuring techniques

bicycle and component adjustment procedures

features of rider comfort on a bicycle, including:

stability

efficiency

aerodynamics.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the riders they have measured and fitted to a bicycle, e.g. bicycle order.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

bicycle retail workplace or simulated workplace

workplace instructions

PPE required when fitting bicycle to rider

bicycle manufacturer specifications

three riders with differing requirements and build requiring bicycle fittings

three different bicycle models, including:

with and without gears

with lever-operated brakes

tools and equipment appropriate for selecting and adjusting bicycles to fit riders.
