There has for a converging variety of reasons been increased interest in commuting and generally travelling by bicycle. As more and more of my friends are beginning to explore two-wheeled alternatives, they've asked me for the occasional piece of advice. Though not an expert, I've decided to begin a series within the Bikes topic of The Miscellanies on "Commuting and Basic Maintenance". My approach will be a very beginner-friendly one. There will be lots of pictures. My instructions will be appropriate to the level of the repair under discussion: "Changing a Flat" will have some tedium for experienced riders. "Adjusting your Bottom Bracket" will assume some basic knowledge, etc. Please leave a comment if there is any particular topic you would like to see addressed in a future post.
