Fourteen cycling resolutions for 2014

What's on your to-do list for 2014?


Learn how to look after your bike

The bicycle is, on the face of it, a simple thing but we’ve all found ourselves hunched over a bike cursing under our breath at a seemingly impossible mechanical dilemma.

Learning how to look after your bike can save you time and money

Learning how to look after your bike can save you time and money. It also allows you to better understand your machine and how you can keep it in tip-top shape. You can also identify small problems before they come big ones.

Start with the basics. RoadCyclingUK’s maintenance section includes advice on how to check and replace your chain, how to wrap handlebar tape and winter drivetrain issues. Otherwise, many local bike shops offer maintenance classes, while Evans run bi-monthly FixIt! sessions in every store, covering the basics including gear adjustment, brake adjustment and lubing your drivetrain.

More comprehensive training is offered by providers including ATG, who run a two-day Cytech Home Mechanics course in Aylesbury or Stafford,  and Cycle Systems Academy in London.
