Preride Checklist

Every cyclist knows that you simply shouldn't just get on your bike and ride. A bit of planning will help make your bike trip safer and more comfortable for you. This is true if you are going five miles or fifty miles. Here are things you should do before every ride:

• Check your tires
• Inspect your chain
• Check your seat pack for proper contents
• Assemble your gear (helmet, gloves, etc.)
• Fill your water bottles
• Make sure you know where you're going
• Get the weather forecast

And when you're riding remember to have fun!
