A doctor has provided 1 answer
Upkeep & rules: You must first have a bicycle that is in proper mechanical condition and kept that way. Before each ride you should inflate tires, wipe clean as you check for breacdown, and wipe rims for good brake control. Lubricate and wipe down chain. Test brakes and adjust. Wear proper helmet, and gloves. Keep eyes and ears open and be aware of situation around you. Obey road rules. Expect others not to.
