Check list before each ride
Check that the bicycle is complete.
Check that the lighting, reflector and brake, for instance, are
sufficiently clean.
You must check that the mudguards, the pannier rack and the
chain guard are securely installed.
Check that the front and rear wheels run true. This is particularly
important if the bicycle has been transported or secured with a
lock.
Check the valves and the tyre pressure. Adjust as necessary
before each ride.
Check the front and rear wheel brakes to make sure that they
are working properly. To do so, operate the brake levers while
the bicycle is stationary in order to check whether resistance is
generated in the usual brake lever position.
Check that the running light is working.
Check for unusual noises, vibrations, smells, discolouration,
deformation, abrasion and wear. This indicates material fatigue.
Be alert to any unusual operating sensations when braking,
pedalling or steering.
Check the quick releases to make sure that they are fully closed
in their final position.
On a bicycle with a hydraulic rim brake, check whether the
locking levers are fully closed in their final positions.
