Everything you need to know about keeping your bicycle in perfect condition — from tire pressure to seasonal maintenance.
Proper tire pressure is the single most important factor for ride comfort and efficiency. Road bikes typically need 80-130 PSI, mountain bikes 30-50 PSI, and city bikes 50-70 PSI. Check your tires weekly and always before long rides. Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance by up to 30%.
A well-maintained bicycle lasts longer, rides smoother, and keeps you safer. Clean and lubricate your chain every 200km, check brake pads monthly, and have a professional tune-up at least once a year.
Always carry a basic repair kit with tire levers, a spare tube, and a portable pump. Know the location of the nearest public bike pump station on your route. BikePump maps over 50,000 stations worldwide.
