Spring Bike Prep Checklist

Spring weather is approaching, and now is the time to prepare your bike for increased outdoor riding.

Start with a thorough cleaning to remove winter grime. Check tire condition and replace if worn. Lubricate your chain with appropriate wet or dry lube depending on your conditions.

Inspect brake pads for wear and cables for fraying. Test shifting through all gears before your first big ride.

A quick pre-season tune-up at your local shop can catch issues you might miss and ensure a safe start to your riding season.

Get rolling early to build base fitness before summer events.
