It’s April and time to get your bike out of the basement and dust it off! Spring is here and you can ride your bike to school, work, for fun and exercise. But don’t just hop on and ride. Like everything that hasn’t been used in months, you have to make sure it works properly and give it a bit of love and care. Take your bike for a spring tune up.

A spring bike tune-up ensures a safer, smoother, and more enjoyable riding experience by addressing potential issues before the season begins, maximizing your bike’s performance and longevity. A bike tune-up is a thorough maintenance service that includes inspecting, adjusting, cleaning, and lubricating various components of your bike to ensure it operates efficiently. Sounds good, doesn’t it?  And yes, it’s very important to do this every spring.

A bike tune up usually takes a bit of time, so call any of our amazing and knowledgeable bike shops in the greater Madison area listed below and make an appointment today. Happy riding!
