Take and make the time to look after your bike(s).
If you’re going to ride in all weathers, simply putting the bike back in the garage after two or three hours of pedalling through winter grime is as good as throwing your money in the air.
You don’t need to be a mechanic to give everything a hose down, wipe clean and a visual ‘once over’. If something looks amiss, better to find out in your garage than 30 miles from home or at 40MPH downhill.
