Bike Maintenance and Safety Tips
Regular bike maintenance is essential to ensure your bicycle operates at its best, while also ensuring your safety on the road. In this section, we will discuss the importance of inspecting and maintaining your bike, wearing safety gear while cycling, and strategies for safe bike commuting and sharing the road with other vehicles.
Inspection and Maintenance
Proper bike maintenance involves regularly checking and maintaining various components of your bicycle, including the brakes, gears, tires, and chain. By taking the time to inspect and maintain your bike, you can help prevent breakdowns and ensure a safe and enjoyable ride. This includes checking tire pressure, lubricating the chain, and adjusting the brakes to their optimal performance. By doing so, you can prevent accidents and prolong the lifespan of your bike.
- Check tire pressure at least once a week, or more often in extreme temperatures. Use a tire pressure gauge to ensure your tires are not underinflated or overinflated.
- Lubricate the chain regularly to prevent rust and wear. Use a chain lube specifically designed for your type of bike.
- Adjust the brakes to their optimal performance by tightening or loosening the brake pads and brake cables.
- Check the gears by shifting through all the gears and ensuring smooth transitions between them.
-
Remember, a well-maintained bike is a safe bike.

Additionally, consider wearing reflective clothing or accessories to increase your visibility to other drivers.
