With lighter nights, flowers blooming and better weather on the horizon, it is time to prepare your bike for springtime. The chances are you haven’t ridden your bike properly for a few months, and it is important to give your bike a full service before getting back on the saddle. Here are some top tips on getting back on your bike for the sunny spring days.
Adjust your seat
It is important to check your seat before you start riding again. A loose seat can lead to an uncomfortable ride, which isn’t good for any cyclist.

Check your tyre pressure
All bike tyres lose air pressure if they have been sitting for a long time over winter. It is good to invest in an air pump with a wide base to stand on and large gauges that are easy to read. After you have checked your tyres it is good to develop and stick to a habit of regular check-ups. That way your tyres will always be the correct pressure every time you ride.
Check your brake pads
The next thing to check on your bike is the brake pads. By checking your brake pads, you will not only help prevent accidents but also help to improve your overall performance. If your brakes do need replacing, it is important that you change them as soon as possible and before you start riding again.
