Bicycle Safety Checklist

Check tire pressure

, wheel alignment, spoke 

tension, and if the spindle bearings are tight. 

Check for wear and tear on the rims and 

other wheel components.

Check brake function. 

Check if the 

handlebars, handlebar stem, handle post 

and handlebar are adjusted properly and 

undamaged.

Check for loose links in the chain 

and that 

the chain rotates freely through the gears. 

Make sure there is no metal fatigue on the 

crank and the cables are operating smoothly 

and without damage.

Ensure that the quick releases and bolts 

are fastened tightly 

and adjusted properly. 

Slightly lift the bicycle and drop to test for 

tremor, shake and stability of the frame (es-

pecially the hinges and latches of the frame 

and the handle post).

Check that the tires are properly inflated 

and 

there is no wear and tear.

The bicycle should be clean and without 

wear.

 Look for discolored spots, scratches 

or wear, especially on the brake pads, which 

contact the rim. 

Check that the wheels are secure. 

They 

should not slide on the hub axle. Then, use 

your hands to squeeze every pair of spokes. 

If the spoke tensions are different, align your 

wheel. Finally, rotate both wheels to make 

sure they turn smoothly, are aligned and do 

not touch the brake pads.

Make sure that your wheels will not come 

off,

 holding each end of the bicycle in the air 

and hitting the wheel downward from above.

Test your brakes 

by standing over your 

bicycle and activating both brakes, and then 

rock the bicycle forward and backward. The 

bicycle should not roll and the brake pads 

should remain firmly in place.

Make sure that the brake pads are aligned 

with the rim and check for wear on both.

• This checklist is a quick way to check if your 
bicycle is ready for use.

schedule a maintenance check-up with a profes-
sional bicycle mechanic.
