BIKE CARE TIP: Before each ride, make sure your tires are properly inflated. Tires will have their maximum (& sometimes minimum) inflation listed on the sidewall. If you're rolling on pavement, aim for the upper limit; if you're on wet ground or loose dirt, a mid- or lower limit inflation provides better traction. Rubber is porous, and tires will naturally lose air between rides. Proper inflation means less likelihood of having to fix a flat tire on your ride! Be kind to your future self!
