Squeakers - It doesn't take a lot to quickly run some oil over the chain, run through the gears ( if you have any ) but it seems this is something low down on the list of things to do for some. It has been a dry summer, save for the odd shower, and dust will dry out the moving parts, especially those parts that are exposed. If there is no lubricant then simple physics suggests that there will be increased wear. I used to watch people offered a quick inspection and maintenance guidance when I was based in the city but I don't see that type of thing in the west end. Perhaps the local authority or safety campaigners should get involved now that there are more and more cyclists around, don't you think?
