and Australia the left brake lever is for rear brake
and the right brake is for the front brake. In all
other countries it is the other way: left for front,
right for rear.
Check the tyres for any visible damage.
Check tyre pressures are 40-60psi(275-410KPA),
and adjust ifnecessary.
Check brake functions, cable tension, pad
clearance, etc.
