Checking bicycle tires is extremely important for both safety and performance. Properly inflated tires provide better traction, handling, and braking while reducing the risk of flats and other tire-related issues. Additionally, checking the tread depth of the tires can help ensure they are safe to ride on.
1. Check the tire pressure: Make sure the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure. This can be found on the sidewall of the tire.
2. Check the tread: Look for signs of wear and tear. If the tread is worn down, it may be time to replace the tires.
3. Check the sidewalls: Look for any cracks or bulges in the sidewalls. These can indicate a weak spot in the tire that could lead to a blowout.

My passion for bikes started when my parents opened a shop in the 1980s called Parker Bikes (we were located in Parker, Colorado). My love for cycling has continued since then, in my work and with my hobbies of road cycling and mountain biking. After my parents’ shop closed, I worked for other bike shops (including Lee’s Cyclery in Fort Collins), where I built and sold bikes, fixed and tuned up bikes, and managed inventory.
I love working on bikes and want to share my passion for cycling with others. So, next time you’re talking cycling with someone and wondering how to get started or where to go from here, you can think, “I know a guy!”
