Daily checks
Before getting on your bike, make sure :
Taking care of your bike
A bike in good condition will save you from unpleasant surprises on the road.
Tires are properly inflated: rely on the maximum PSI indication on the tire to drive more efficiently and prevent premature tire wear.
That the brakes are efficient: they should respond quickly. If not, check the wear on the brake pads. It may be time to change them.
That the derailleur works well: gears are easy to shift and there's no rubbing noise when you pedal.
Annual tune-up
A tune-up costs between 30 $ and 150 $, depending on the condition of the bike and the adjustments to be made.
