- How do I know if my bike is in good condition

Sure! Here are four different ways to check if your bike is in good shape:

**Tire Check**: First off, look at your tires. Make sure they’re properly inflated and there aren’t any cracks or punctures. If they feel flat or squishy, it’s time to pump them up or replace them.

**Brake Test**: Give your brakes a squeeze. They should feel firm and responsive. If they’re squeaking or feeling mushy, you might need to adjust or replace the brake pads.

**Chain and Gears**: Spin the pedals and see how the chain moves. It should glide smoothly without any skipping or grinding noises. If it’s rusty or making weird sounds, it might need some cleaning or lubrication.
