Some FAQ from Learners:
Question: What are the minimum things you should take out with you when you go out on your ride?
Answer: Mike: Drinks, banana/gels, mobile phone (charged), multi-tool, spare inner tube, puncture repair kit, tyre levers, CO2 cartridge and/or pump, emergency cash and a spare 'magic' chain link. You might also consider extra rain-protective clothing and a mini-chain tool. A motor-pacing scooter can also be handy! And if you are riding to get away from it all forget the phone.
Question: How often should you clean your bike if you're riding 2-3 times a week or more? Is there any particular method you'd advise following?
Mike: After every ride! Degrease your chain and any other oil-soiled components first - (I use a chain cleaning tool Car Plan degreaser), then clean with a proprietary detergent, rinse off, dry, lubricate the chain. Check cable operation and lubricate if necessary.
