Your guide to checking your bike is commute ready

How to check your bike is ready for your commute

You may be pushed for time in the morning but it is still a good idea to check that your bike is safe to ride, although there is no reason you can’t do this the night before. If you commute regularly, try and get into the habit of giving your bike a quick check once you get home in the evening by working through this 5-minute check to keep it running smoothly, or do it before you ride if you haven’t ridden your bike for a while.
