What with it heading towards summer, I think it's about time I clean up my mountain bike so that I can start riding it in to work in the mornings and get in an extra 30 minutes a day on the saddle.
I had thought about riding my road bike in to work, but on the one hand it is really designed for comfortable commuting, and on the other hand, I couldn't afford it replace it should something happen to it.
My mountain bike has unfortunately been spending its days out in the back garden with no real covering to protect it from the elements and so rust has set in around the chain, gears and on the cables.
Over the bank holiday weekend I shall be posting links and extracts to any articles I come across that I find useful in the hope that they may be of help to anyone else.
