  Keeping your bicycle clean and well-lubricated is the easiest way to prevent expensive repairs and ensure a safe ride. Follow the "M-Check" method: check your tires for correct air pressure (PSI), test your front and rear brakes, inspect the chain for dryness or rust, and ensure all key bolts (stem, saddle, wheels) are secure. Just 10 minutes of inspection before your weekend ride can save your drivetrain and keep you pedaling smoothly.

  Riding in urban traffic requires confidence, defensive riding habits, and the right accessories. Always wear a helmet with rotational impact protection like Giro MIPS, install bright front and rear LED lights (even during daytime), and wear reflective clothing. Be sure to claim your lane when necessary to avoid being "doored" by parked cars, obey traffic lights, and communicate your intentions to drivers with clear hand signals.
