Top 10 Cycle Training Tips #9

Learn some basic bike maintenance skills. Nobody wants their ride or race cut short by a mechanical issue, they certainly don’t want their group ride cut short by someone else’s mechanical issue. Most problems that will occur while on a ride can be fixed quite simply with basic tools and knowledge, so invest a little time and equip yourself with the skills to take care of your own, and I can guarantee someone else’, bike in the future. This will also stop you having to take your bike into the workshop on such a regular basis, saving you some money.
