How To Get Your Bike Ready for Spring

Blue skies and warm weather are the perfect combo for bicycle riding. It's time to get your bike out of storage and give it a quick eye test to assess the overall condition of your bike. Obvious issues like flat tires, broken seats, and bent rims will require repair, but general maintenance should only take a few minutes.

First you'll want to give your bike a good washing by simply hosing it down to remove dirt and mud. Then you can dive deeper into the overall health of your bike and evaluate what it really needs. Use this checklist and you'll be cruising by the weekend.
