Taking Care of Your Bike
Learn the right techniques for maintaining your bike, extending its lifespan, and riding with peace of mind. A well-maintained bike means more fun and fewer headaches!

Get familiar with the essential equipment and accessories you need to ride safely. You don’t need to be an expert—you just need to know the basics of bike maintenance to develop good habits.
Take charge of your own safety
Because riding a well-maintained bike also means staying safe: pay close attention to the condition of your equipment, ride responsibly, learn to spot mechanical hazards, and build confidence—for yourself and for others.

A 3-step program for safe driving
Create a product sheet for your bike
A bike is like an ID card: the better you know it, the better you take care of it. In this section, you’ll learn how to:
Identify the key components of your bike (brakes, drivetrain, frame, wheels, etc.).
Create a custom technical data sheet: model, serial number, specific settings.
Goal: to have all the information you need to maintain, insure, or even recover your bike in case of theft.
Check and maintain your bike's safety features
Squeaky brakes? Chain skipping? Don't leave anything to chance. You'll learn how to:
Check the essentials before every trip: brakes, tires, lights, and steering.
Perform routine maintenance: cleaning, checking tire pressure, etc.
Recognize the signs of wear and know when to call a professional.
Goal: To ensure your safety every day with a reliable, well-maintained bike.

A proper fit means riding comfortably, avoiding pain… and improving your safety. This module helps you:

All of our training programs are accessible and designed to accommodate participants with disabilities.
Discussing disability as early as the recruitment phase is often a key step toward a successful training program.
Being aware of a learner’s disability means being able to design a training program that takes into account their needs and the resources required to support their learning journey. Therefore, it is advisable to consider a learner’s disability as early as the registration phase.
