bike maintenance

Keeping cycles rolling

Bike maintenance is the routine care and repair of a bicycle—adjusting brakes, lubricating chains, replacing worn tires, tuning gears.

The term covers both preventive upkeep and fixing problems: I need to do some bike maintenance before the long ride this weekend.

Regular bike maintenance extends a bicycle's life and prevents breakdowns.
