Website for those who are into bicycles – whether you are a beginner, an experienced cyclist, or a mechanic.
Which bicycle should I buy, how to patch a punctured tyre, tune a derailleur, replace the chain, how to brake,
securely lock my bike, ride safely in traffic…
In more detail – the “About Us” page
The principle I stick to is: “Objective Detailed Expert Information.”
Most articles here were written by Relja Novović and other humans – with all our flaws and imperfections. So do let us know if you run into some “bed spilling” or other mistakes (contact email) – we do that from time to time.
Why?
You don’t depend on others.
Especially during the spring and summer bicycle service shop overload.
It’s Zen-like.
Fixing a bike is a joy, and it helps with fine motor skills and logical thinking development.
Your skills and confidence grow with each successful repair. Why should a flat tyre mean the end of the ride for the day?
It saves money.
Though, as your skills improve, you will be looking for better tools. Good tools aren’t cheap and complicated repairs can take time.
