Before going out, make sure whether the bike is in good condition. Generally, there are several routine inspections, such as tire pressure, brakes, faucets... Let's enjoy the experience from cycling enthusiasts. 

 

First, tire pressure

Just within reasonable range. Too high or too low will not only affect the speed and comfort of the ride, but also may cause a puncture or destruction to the rim. The French air nozzle needs a special pump or a adapter (called smart mouth). When pumping, turn the small screw at the front end of the nozzle and gently press the nozzle to release the air.
