Inspect the bike for damage
Check for any cracks, dents, or bends in the frame, handlebars, or wheels. Look for worn-out or damaged components that need replacement.
Fix flat tires and replace tubes
Remove the wheel, find the puncture, and patch it or replace the tube if necessary. Inspect the tire for any embedded objects that may cause another flat.
Adjust brakes and gears
Ensure the brakes are aligned and the pads are not worn out. Adjust the tension of the brake cables and check for any fraying. For the gears, make sure they shift smoothly and adjust the cable tension if needed.
Lubricate the chain and other moving parts
Clean the chain and apply lubricant to ensure smooth movement. Check the pedals, crankset, and derailleurs for any signs of wear and tear.
Tighten loose bolts and screws
Inspect the bike for any loose bolts or screws and tighten them to prevent further damage or accidents. Pay attention to the handlebars, seat, and any accessories attached to the bike.
