If before all of this started, you prepped your bike to withstand the long period of disuse, you shouldn’t have many problems getting back to riding after following a few simple steps that shouldn’t take longer than five minutes. If that’s not the case, get ready to get it up and running with this list of steps for getting your bike out of lockdown.<\/p>\n

Phase 0: inspect the exterior of the bike<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In phase 0 of taking our bike out of lockdown<\/strong>, the first thing we need to do is pay attention to the body of the bike.<\/p>\n

If our bike has been sitting in the garage, this step is as simple as taking it outside and giving the exterior a quick glance, evaluating its state, and cleaning off any dust that’s accumulated. If the bike has been sitting on the street, we will need to check that it hasn’t been dented or scratched and isn’t missing any pieces. On top of this, after so many days of exposure to the elements, it is important to inspect and see if any rusting<\/strong> has occurred or dirt has gathered in any important parts; and if so, we’ll need to give those parts that have been exposed a good clean down. We should especially check parts under the bike, as well as the number plate. We don’t want to be ticketed for a dirty plate! <\/p>\n

Apart from getting the bike nice and clean again, this first step also ensures we don’t scratch the bike with loose parts. <\/p>\n
