Ready to ride? Top bike maintenance and safety tips
Ready to elevate your adventures? There's no better time to hop on a bike! Cycling offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and nature while getting a great workout.
If it's been a while since you last cycled, don't worry—we're here with expert advice and tips to get you ready.
Prepare Your Bike for the Road
If it’s your first time out or you’re a regular cyclist, there are a few things to examine before you get out on the road! Start by reviewing your bike and tuning it up:
- Inspect your brakes: Ensure they’re clean and have sufficient padding. If the grooves on the padding are worn out, it's time to replace them.
- Clean and oil the chain: A well-maintained chain keeps your ride smooth.
- Check your tires: Look for cracks and ensure proper inflation. If your bike has been sitting unused, replacing the tire tubes might be a good idea.
