Also, besides an annual check up, should the brakes be inspected and cared for more often (even if they aren’t showing any issues?). I typically ride 1-2x a week outside, but they are long rides – anywhere from 40-100 miles. I don’t degrease or lube on a regular basis (or any kind of basis, for shame!) so I appreciate the tips.

If you’re riding your bike pretty consistently than I definitely think you qualify as an “average” commuter! Keep your eye out for darkness around the chain area – if it looks dirty it’s probably time to clean it! As for lubrication, you don’t want to over do it so just be sure to only use a few drips and then wipe up any excess. Should be good to go!

I ride my bike a few times a week, for trips that are around 6-8 miles each. Thanks!
