AGB Tip of the Week:
Many new riders do not realize that bicycle tires should be pumped-up before each ride to the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure, which can be found on the sidewall of the tire. The major benefits of pumping up your tires before each ride is less tire rolling resistance and less likelihood of flats. Many high-pressure road tires lose 10 psi per day, so after one week the tires can lose half of their pressure!
Good riding!
Joe
