How smooth is the action of your bike’s chain? Is it stiff and slow or does it move easily? If you haven’t lubricated your bike’s chain properly, you are in for a lot of frustration – the chain won’t move as well as it is such and might seize up or snap. A regular application of lubricant will prolong the life of your chain.
Biking is an exciting sport and leisure activity, but can also be a dangerous one. Although watching it from the comfort of your home with your best friends or pet feels safe, it’s not the same out there.

Mountain biking is one of the most fun ways to feel the adrenaline coursing through your veins.
