Using the Tern Sidekick Seat Pad GSD is a breeze. First, locate the KLICKfix Rackpack mount on your GSD bike rack. Then, simply clip the seat pad onto the mount. It should attach securely in seconds. You can use two seat pads on one rack or pair one with a Thule Maxi seat if you're carrying children. For all - weather riding, you don't have to worry about a little rain as it's water - resistant. But try to avoid long - term exposure to heavy downpours. When it comes to maintenance, wipe it down with a damp cloth regularly. Check the KLICKfix mount and clips for any signs of wear or damage before each ride. Keep it in a dry place when not in use to ensure its longevity and continued comfort.
