Keen to celebrate Ride2Work Day on October 15 but not sure where to begin?
We’ve partnered with Bicycle Network to bring you a quick and easy checklist to help make your commute safe, smooth, and stress-free.
Quick Bike Check
Tyres:
Inflate tyres to the recommended pressure (check the sidewall). Inspect for cracks, cuts, or worn tread. Replace if damaged—old tyres can lead to punctures or blowouts.
Brakes:
Squeeze both brakes to ensure they feel firm and responsive. Check pads for wear—if they’re thin or grooved, replace them. Squealing could mean misalignment or contamination.
Chain:
Keep your chain clean and lubricated for smooth riding and longer drivetrain life. Wipe it down, then apply bike-specific lube. Don’t overdo it—excess oil attracts dirt.
Gears:
Shift through all gears while riding. If they skip, clunk, or resist shifting, your bike may need a tune-up or cable adjustment.

Accessories Check
Helmet:
We recommend replacing your helmet every 3 years or immediately after a crash, even if there's no visible damage.
Lights:
Front light = white; rear = red. Essential for night and low-light conditions. Keep batteries charged or carry spares.
Lock:
Use a sturdy D-lock or heavy-duty chain. Always lock the frame (and ideally the wheels) to something solid.
Repair Kit:
Include a spare tube, tyre levers, mini-pump or CO₂, and optionally a multi-tool. A simple kit can save you from getting stranded.
Rain Jacket & Spare Clothes:
Pack a lightweight jacket and dry clothes, especially for commutes or longer rides, just in case!
