Essential Bike Checks
Brakes - really obvious, but make sure that the brakes aren’t going to stop working at a critical point.
Wheels - check that the spokes are tight and that the wheels are attached to the bike properly (check those quick-releases).
Chain - make sure that the chain is well oiled. You don’t need fancy (and expensive) chain-lubes… good old 3-in-1 oil will be fine to get you going.
