As the snow melts and many bike owners are preparing to take their bicycles out of storage, expert Marten Selirand offers advice on getting bikes ready for the new riding season. During a segment on "Terevisioon", he emphasizes the importance of thorough maintenance, especially for bikes that have been used during the fall and winter months. He notes that winter conditions can cause grime to accumulate on bicycles, which may affect their reliability and safety during rides.

Selirand recommends that bike owners disassemble their bikes for a proper cleaning and, if necessary, to change lubricants to ensure optimal performance. The cleaning method for the bike will depend on how dirty it has become; rather than using strong pressure washing, which can damage sensitive components, he suggests using a brush or sponge to carefully remove dirt. Such maintenance is crucial to maintain the bike's condition and prolong its life.

Additionally, Selirand advises checking the air pressure in the tires first after a bike has been stationary for winter. He explains that tires often deflate over time, and it is important to find the correct air pressure indicated on the side of the tire. This proactive approach prepares the bike for a safe and enjoyable riding experience as the weather warms up, ensuring that riders can confidently return to the roads and trails once again.
