- By day a Microsoft Platform Web Developer.

I am a mixed mode commuter - sometimes I ride, sometimes I drive, and sometimes there is a bus or train ride mixed in there.
My rides:
- 2008 Specialized Roubaix Comp (pretty much stock)
- 2004 Novara Randonee - racks, fenders, lights and an upgrade to 105 on the rear after a crash.
- 1993 MtnTek Vertical - rack, fenders, slick - was my primary commuter for years.

Not all Citi Bikes are well-tuned. How to quickly inspect a Citi Bike to ensure it's ready for the road? Most citibike programs I have encountered have stands located not many blocks apart, so you could actually swap one out pretty quick normally. |

What tools are required to replace a spoke? Just to be clear - I'm not saying all 5 are broken at the same time... I'm a big guy and I mostly ride with a bike loaded with panniers and probably break spokes more frequently than some others. I usually figure that if I've broken the first I need to start budgeting for the rebuild over the next couple of months. |

Not all Citi Bikes are well-tuned. How to quickly inspect a Citi Bike to ensure it's ready for the road? Clearly you aren't going to lube a bikeshare bike, or replace tires, but if you are in the habit of doing an ABC Quick Check on your own bikes, you do this in about 30-45 seconds. Eg. you pinch test and spin the tires while looking at the wheel for true, tires for bulges and then checking the brakes when you squeeze to stop the wheel. |
