Essential Bicycle Maintenance: What Every Rider Should Know
Regular, simple maintenance keeps your bike safe and extends its life. The three most important things to check are: Tire Pressure (inflate to the PSI on the tire's sidewall weekly), Brakes (ensure they stop the bike effectively and pads aren't worn down), and Chain (keep it clean and lubricated with bike-specific lube). A yearly tune-up at a bike shop is recommended for a thorough check.
FAQ:
Q: How often should I lubricate my chain?
A: Every 100-200 miles, or whenever it looks dry or starts making a squeaking noise. Wipe off excess lube to avoid attracting dirt.
Q: What do I do if I get a flat tire?
