What if my bike breaks?
There is always the chance you will have a mechanical problem with your bike. This is no different from having car trouble, but there is no breakdown service for cycles!
For some, a mechanical problem may be solved by a distress call to a friend or family member. However, it may be helpful to have the ability to do some basic safety checks and simple maintenance on a bike yourself.
