Cycler Guide: Cycling will be Fun!

How to start bike commuting: the order that works. Solve the route, the arrival and the bike, test it on a weekend, then ride one or two days a week.

Is a bike computer worth it? Compare a phone in a bar mount, a basic wheel-sensor computer and riding with nothing, plus a simple test to decide.

Do I need a floor pump for my bike? For regular top-ups, yes. See what a mini pump and a gas station hose can and cannot do, and keep your tires safe.

How often should I pump my bike tires? Check with a gauge before rides and top up by tube type. Spot a slow leak early and avoid flats.

The max pressure on tire sidewall is a ceiling, not your riding pressure. Learn where your real number comes from and ride with more grip and comfort.

Do I need a torque wrench for my bike? Yes if you clamp carbon parts or swap components; maybe not for pumps and flats. Where to find the right value.
