Bike Maintenance

A well maintained bike lasts longer and is easier to ride than a neglected bike. Check to make sure your tires are properly inflated, your brakes work, and your chain can move smoothly before riding. Airing up your tires and lubing up your chain are easy enough, but if you don’t feel comfortable working on your bike take it to a local bike shop or learn as you go at a community bike shop.

If you own a multi-speed bicycle and it’s been awhile since your last ride, it is a good idea to run through your gears. You don’t want to get stuck going up a hill to find that one of your gears skips or derails your chain.
 
 
 

 
Don’t Abandon Your Bike!

Even if you don’t want your bike anymore someone else does!  You can sell it, donate it to different organizations, or give it to a bike-less buddy of yours.  Not only will someone else be happy to have a bike, but abandoned bikes take up much needed parking spaces on campus.  PTS will also accept donated bikes which will be auctioned off in the fall semester.  All auction money goes back to the Bike UT program.
