Bicycle mechanics

Bicycle mechanics involve understanding how various components work together to ensure a smooth and safe ride. Key parts include the frame, which provides structure; wheels and tires for movement; the drivetrain—comprising pedals, chain, and gears—that propels the bike; and the brakes, which control speed and stopping. Proper maintenance involves tuning the gears, lubricating moving parts, and checking tire pressure and brake function. Mechanics ensure these elements are aligned and functioning correctly for efficiency, safety, and comfort. Regular adjustments and repairs are essential to keep a bicycle operating optimally and extending its lifespan.
