Hi there,
This issue's tip: A, B, C
Before you ride, check Air (squeeze the tires; they should be firm), Brakes (squeeze both levers and push the bike; it shouldn't roll) and Chain (clean, oiled, no squeaks). It takes 30 seconds and catches most problems before they leave you walking.

The right pressure is printed on the side of your tire. Proper pressure means fewer flats and an easier ride.
