Using the Domane AL 2 Gen 4 is a breeze. First, adjust the seat and handlebars to your comfort level. Then, hop on and start pedaling. When riding, shift gears as needed to maintain a steady pace, especially on different terrains like hills or flat roads. For commuting, use the rack to carry your essentials. When it comes to safety, always wear a helmet and follow traffic rules. As for maintenance, keep the chain clean and lubricated regularly. Check the tire pressure before each ride to ensure a smooth and safe journey. Also, have the brakes inspected periodically to make sure they're in good working condition. If you're going to store the bike for a long time, keep it in a dry place to prevent rust.
