What do you guys do to your bikes?
The biggest maintenance I've ever had to do on my 10yr old bike was putting on new tires and brake shoes. Any bike shop will change those for you and give you a full check up for like $30 (materials included).
Unless you leave your bike outside in the rain all the time it should last pretty much forever, needing little more than some air, oil, and re-fastening of the odd screw.
- maxerickson 12y agoThe comment I replied to expressed a desire to do nothing and I presumed that they also did not want to deal with an inconvenient failure. I don't think either of my suggestions are particularly sensible (unless maybe you are in a situation to have your butler take care of it), but they are possible, which compares favorably to the idea of a maintenance free bike.
