With all the dangers out there on the road, it is vital to ensure your bike is operating at peak efficiency, for your own safety, and that of your family.

Use this handy checklist to determine the safety of each of your bicycles.

  1. Do any parts rattle or seem loose?
  2. Do you have to squeeze the brake levers hard to stop?
  3. Do your brakes squeal when stopping or slowing?
  4. Does your bike shift on its own?
  5. Do the wheels wobble from side to side?
  6. Does the steering seem loose? (squeeze the front brake and rock the bike front to back)
  7. Do you have to inflate your tires often (weekly)?
  8. Does your chain appear rusty or does it click when pedaling?
  9. Are your bike's cables frayed, rusty, or sticky?
  10. Has it been more than one riding season since you last had your bike professionally tuned?

    If you answered yes to any of these questions, then your bicycle needs to be serviced.
