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 bike can be making minor repairs. In this free video series, our expert will teach you how to do minor and major bicycle repairs. Get step-by-step instructions for fixing a flat tire, repairing a bike chain, and adjusting the brakes on a bike. You will also get tips for installing or replacing bike shift cables, a bike seat or bike derailers. If you don't want to spend money taking your bicycle to a bicycle repair shop, let our expert show you how to install and repair all the parts of your bike by yourself.
