Newerson — streets & rides / Equipment

A quick check before leaving

Check tyres, brakes and the way the wheels are secured before a ride. If something feels loose or unfamiliar, have it checked by a qualified mechanic.

Carry the essentials for the ride you are making, including water and a way to get home if plans change.

Keep maintenance notes. Small regular checks are easier to manage than discovering several problems on the same morning.
