Know Your Wheels
Make sure your rides run smoothly by keeping your bike in top condition. Check it out before every ride.
Tyres Give them a pinch to make sure they are hard. If they feel soft, get someone to pump them up. Check they are not worn down.
Brakes Whoa there! Test them before every ride and make sure they are not rubbing against the tyres.
Chain Make sure it's not hanging off, broken or rusty.
Saddle Make sure it's adjusted to the right height. Too high or too low and it won't be comfortable or safe.
Lights and reflectors Make sure they aren't muddy or covered up if you're riding at night.
Your bike is one of the most efficient machines ever invented, but like all machines it needs to be looked after.
