Ask the Bike Expert’s Answer

Preventative maintenance

• Clean your bike often and keep it inside.
• Rain, moisture and dirt will cause your parts rust and wear quicker.
• Only use bike chain oil for your bike. WD-40 is not a good substitute.
• Keep your tires properly inflated. This will help the longevity of your tires and give you a better ride.

Things to bring when you ride

• Lots of water!
• Multi tool kit with chain breaker
• A pump or CO2
• patch kit or tube
• Cell phone
• Gel packs, snacks of some kind
• Of course a helmet, but that goes without saying.
• Some cash, credit card, & your ID

Have Fun!
