Cycling For Beginners pt7: Six Basic Maintenance Tasks

Описание: Your bike is very a complex machine and, like all machines, it needs a bit of TLC from time to time to keep it working properly. Love it and it will love you back!

If you remember back to part three of my noobies guide to getting in to cycling, I list a few basic essentials that you will need to keep your new bike on the road and running smoothly. Hopefully, by now you will have gone out and done your first few rides so its time to start putting those things to good use.
