Get ready! Spring bike safety checklist

Mar 8, 2011 | by Active Trans

Here's a Bicycling Ambassadors & Chicagobikes.org Safety Tip from the Chicago Department of Transportation and the Illinois Department of Transportation Division of Traffic Safety.

Spring Checklist: The winter is a great time to check your bike for spring riding! Do you have a flat that needs changing? Are your brakes working properly? Is your chain lubed? Download Safe Cycling in Chicago for quick, easy maintenance tips. It’s the perfect time to buy a new helmet or lock at a discounted price. Proper helmet use saves lives and correct locking prevents theft. Visit your local bike shop for more information on accessories.
