note to new bikers... build a relationship with a bike shop or a bicycle mechanic

a flat... a broken chain...

air in the tires and lube on the chain are basics that everyone who owns a bicycle should know

then build on that
fixing a flat or repairing a broken chain are the next tasks to master

if you are not able to fix a flat or repair a chain
then learn where the bike shops are
and then
build a relationship with your local bicycle shop
