Solve the fun drag and drop bicycle safety checklist below.
Check your bike before you ride
Tyres
- Test inflation by squeezing the tyre firmly
- Look at the valves and check that they are perpendicular to the rim and not leaning towards one side or the other
- Check for bulges on the tyre and the wear
- If they constantly need inflating, they may need replacement
Chain & Crank
- Check that the chain turns smoothly without jumping.
- Check for rust and loose links
- Check that is not caked with dust or too greasy.
- Turn the crank a few full turns to make sure the gears and crank are aligned and that the chain does not off the derailleur
Brakes
- Check that the pads are not worn
- Test that the caliper arms are returning fully
Helmet
- Fit your helmet properly
- If you have had crash damage on your helmet get a new one
