Bike Maintenance:
Maintenance matters. It’s more important than weight or aerodynamics. A bike with a broken chain will not ride well even if it is 13lbs. Proper maintenance can be the difference between a bicycle that lives a long and happy life and one that dies young, between winning a race or walking home. And for the most part, bicycle maintenance is the same for everyone, whether you’re Lance Armstrong or just an average Joe. In other words, it is worth knowing about.
