On The Road Again

Having started riding my bike again recently, I thought I would offer a friendly reminder to all the cyclists out there. Remember to lube your chain. If you are using the dry-lube (which attracts less dirt), you need to lube your bike chain every two or three days. If you do not think you can remember to do this that often, you should switch to a more traditional lubricant- because a dry chain is bad no matter what. Remember that. There is always a best way to do things for a given activity- but lube it up no matter what (even if all you have is wd-40).

No offense, Joe, but this is the best thing you've ever posted. Had I not read this, I would have forgotten- AGAIN- to oil my chain- until I was half way to work. So thanks!

I'm gonna do it right now.

I might have to visit your blog more often, especially if these "morsels" of helpful hints continue!
