Enjoy Hassle-free and Convenient Mobile Bike Repair in London!

Bicycling is perhaps the best way when it comes to exploring the beautiful cities like London. Whether you enjoy biking on road or mountain biking, the experience is thrilling and truly rewarding in more than one way. Bicycling is an environmentally-friendly, cost-effective, convenient and better way to travel from one place to another. The option turns out to be even better considering the ever-increasing costs of fossil fuel and gas these days. Bicycles do not emit any hazardous gas and, therefore, are a green way to travel across the city. Furthermore, it is a lot convenient if you compare with travelling in public transportation. With bicycle, there is no need to wait for the public transportation vehicle to come and take you to your destination.

While the above benefits are quite compelling, most bikers love bicycles for the immense health benefits it offers. Regular biking is an excellent way to stay healthy and in a perfect shape. It is also an effective cardiovascular exercise. However, those suffering from cardiovascular disease should first consult their cardiologist prior to taking up bicycling for exercising.

There is no denying that bicycling has lot more benefits than the few mentioned above, however most bikers detest the idea of taking the bike to the cycle repair shop to have the fault in it fixed or repaired. The reason behind this lethargy and unwillingness is well justified and it is the time that is consumed in the process and the hassles associated with it.

Basic Tips on Motorcycle Safety, How to Try, Buy, Check Condition and Enjoy Your Biker Lifestyle

This information has been gathered by many years of motorcycle riding and will be part of a motorcycle series of articles I will be writing when time permits.

If you are thinking of buying your first motorcycle there are a lot of things to consider. Engine size is important (you do not want to buy something beyond your experience and handling capacity). If you are a complete newbie perhaps a 250cc motorcycle would be relevant. Sit on the seat and check if is the right height for you. If you feel it is just a little high there are means to get around this. You can lower most modern motorcycles these days. Some motorcycles such as Harley Davidson have after -market lowering kits and I am sure there are many more makes and models with similar products. You can lower the front of most bikes up to around 35mm by loosening the triple clamps and letting the front fork legs rise up through. There are a lot of motorcycles with adjustable rear shocks too.

Once you have decided what model most suits your needs there are few things to look for. Every motorcycle has a lock stop on either side of the fork triple tree. This is to stop the motorcycle being turned too far beyond safety turning levels. Turn the handlebars left to right and check them for damage or welding (these stops are one of the first things damaged in a crash). Have a good look underneath the exhaust system for excessive scratching or road rash. Have a look at the front tyre from the side - if there are little mounds or bumps it could indicate faulty wheel bearings or wheel alignment. If the bike is chain drive look at the condition of the rear sprocket, check that the teeth are not sharply pointed or missing. Move the chain up & down and side to side to check for wear. Check for tyre wear and wheel rim damage.

Move to the engine and check for obvious oil leaks and the condition of the engine and transmission screws, bolts and nuts for damage. The last thing you want to do is buy a used bike that has been butchered by an amateur mechanic. Most motorcycles come with a basic maintenance booklet and small tool kit (ask to see these) it is most important while you are riding to have some basic tool kit as you never know when you when it may come in handy. If the motorcycle has spokes in the wheels give them a shake to check for loosening.

After buying your motorcycle make sure you carry a spare globe for front and back lights. A pair of spark plugs are also a must (especially if you have chosen a two stroke engine type). A small piece of rag to wrap your tools in if one is not supplied.

Now these tips are basically enough to get you going on your way to being a biker and enjoying your ride.

My name is Graham Macardy I have been riding motorcycles since the age of twelve. I am a qualified motorcycle mechanic and have owned motorcycle repair and sales businesses. I have just started to release some biker action DVDs from yester year to the present. These have been lost in my garage for many years and have just been found and converted from film. Go to my website and check them out. They will be released one at a time as they are processed. Have a look at my story.
