Cycling UK has produced a series of easily accessible video guides on maintenance and road safety. In this guide, we cover the essential checks you should make before your begin your ride.
Before you set off on your journey, you should always check your bike.
You can do this by performing an M-Check which helps you systematically check all the key components and moving parts for faults or problems.
Get into the habit of doing this every time you use your bike and you should avoid any major issues, helping you to stay safe.
And of course your bike will work better and have a longer lifespan if you look after it properly.
This video will show you exactly how to perform the M-Check and covers:
• Tyres
• Wheels and spokes
• Frame
• Saddle
• Gears and drivetrain
• Pedals
• Handlebars
• Brakes
• Headset
You can also check out our five handy written guides on bike maintenance. The M-Check is covered in the first guide, ‘Before you Set Off.’ It also contains useful information on ‘Knowing your bike’ and ‘Lubricating your bike.’
Packed with instructional diagrams and handy hints, it’s been designed to download on your phone as a reference guide you can take wherever you go.

That don't work for cycle, as it's a recumbent trike. My bell sucks it's not very loud.
