Bike Repair and Maintenance

Couple of things to keep in mind are:

Take a good look at all bicycle systems and check for things that need to be fixed.

Brake system: Check that brake cables are not broken, brake pads should be in good condition and brake handles should work properly. Check the brake caliper.

Tires: If they had been flat for some time and look broken, consider changing for new ones. If the tire is all right consider changing the tire tubes. Before buying them check on the side of the tire its number. For example 20 x 1.50

Seat: Seat must be appropriate in size for you and comfortable. Consider cushioned seats.

Safety: Check that the bicycle has lights and reflectors to advice others you are on your way. Consider installing a bell or a horn to let others know you are moving through.

Storage: Whether you have one or five bikes, it helps to have a nice bike shed you can keep them in for storage. Bike storage sheds are actually becoming more common than ever before. They are not only being used in homes but also at schools, churches and other locations to help riders protect their bikes while they are inside the places they are visiting.
