Inspect the bike for damage
Check for any visible damage such as cracks, dents, or bends in the frame, wheels, or other components.
Adjust the brakes and gears
Ensure the brakes are functioning properly and adjust the tension if necessary. Check the gears for smooth shifting and make adjustments as needed.
Fix a flat tire
Remove the wheel, locate the puncture, and patch or replace the inner tube. Reinstall the wheel and inflate the tire to the recommended pressure.
Tighten loose bolts and screws
Use the appropriate tools to check and tighten any loose bolts or screws on the bike, including the handlebars, seat, and pedals.
Lubricate the chain and other moving parts
Apply bike-specific lubricant to the chain and any other moving parts such as derailleurs and brake pivots to ensure smooth operation. Wipe off any excess lubricant.
