How? First there is professional advice on helmets and techniques for safe cycling: lights, reflective clothing, and bells, with 10 tips for safe cycling. Then the bikes: How to choose the right bike for your body and level of fitness. Is it for fun, commuting or long excursions? ; Anatomy of the bike: wheels, saddle, pedals... and what size bike is right? ; All the right clothing, from shoes and comfortable shorts to panniers ; Anti-theft devices -- which locks are best? ; Home trainers and exercise bikes. Maintenance is the core of the book: What are your essential tools? ; Keeping the bike (including the chain) clean and lubricated ; Essential adjustments: cleats, gears, brake shoes, V brakes, and hydraulic brakes, chain tension. Repair: Replacing a tube or tubeless tire Replacing the chain, cassette, freewheel, brake shoes and pads ; Taking off a tire and changing an inner tube ; Applying a patch or tire plug Replacing a derailleur, broken chain link or spoke ; And much more.
