Summary: Riding a bicycle is a great recreational sport, provides a fun work out, and is a viable form of transportation in many areas where urban traffic is difficult and annoying. Bikes have become increasingly popular throughout the world because they are relatively inexpensive, easy to use, and have very little impact on the global environment. For many young children, a bicycle represents that first taste of freedom, and is the primary manner in which a child will experience the world, until they are old enough to drive. Many people continue to ride their bikes into adulthood though, for the enjoyment of it and for the exercise, but whatever your reasons, biking is a great activity alone or with friends.

Part of owning a bicycle is doing small bicycle repairs from time to time. In this free bicycle maintenance video series, our expert will demonstrate how to do common bicycle repairs, from fixing squeaking brakes, to truing the wheels, to trouble shooting various clunking noises. If you are an amateur rider or even a more advanced cyclist, let our expert show you how to maintain your bicycle and fix common bicycle problems.
