We’ve been beavering away recently, adding more articles to the Practical Information section of Bike Culture – our archive and general information resource. The latest articles concentrate on easy-to-do jobs we can undertake to keep our machines in good working order (such as lubing chains and control cables) and as time goes on they’ll come to address ever more complex tasks (such as replacing chains and cables). Other new articles include advice on handlebar set-up, tools, installing tyres and even washing your bike.
If you’re interested there are a couple of ways you can get involved in this process.
Firstly, if there is a particular subject you’d like covered please ask. We have a panel of experts sitting around twiddling their thumbs just waiting for the opportunity to write a piece on – how to fit mudguards, buying a saddle, setting up a kids bike, choosing a trailer, etc, etc…

The other way you can get involved is to write an article yourself. Paul Johnson contributed an excellent ‘Introduction to Clipless Pedals‘ earlier this year, and our mate from ‘down under’ – Peter Tremlett regularly provides us with articles which chart his freakbike builds.
Don’t be shy! We’d love to publish your stories if you think your experiences can help other cyclists – let’s spread the knowledge!
