A little spring cleaning—for your bike
It’s easy to put off cleaning your bike—we get it. Between busy schedules and more rides, bike washing can easily slide to the bottom of the to-do list. But trust us, regular cleaning is a game-changer for your bike’s performance and lifespan.
That’s where we come in! Whether you’ve just finished a long ride or it’s been a while since your bike got the care it deserves, we’re here to make it easy.
What to expect at the workshop:
Join us for a hands-on, fun workshop where we'll show you the best practices for keeping your bike clean, from top to bottom, without damaging any of its components. You’ll learn the simple steps, tips on what to do (and what to avoid), and everything you need to know to keep your bike running like new.
Why is cleaning your bike so important?
A dirty bike isn’t just a sad sight—it can actually affect your bike’s performance. Mud and grime on your drivetrain can cause friction and wear, while dirt on your wheels and brakes can affect handling. A good wash keeps everything running smoothly and makes your bike feel like it’s fresh off the showroom floor!
We’ll cover the essentials like:
- Proper tools and cleaning supplies
- The best methods for washing your bike (hint: no high-pressure hoses!)
- How to care for your chain, gears, and brakes
- Tips for maintaining your bike in between washes
The clinic will take place simultaneously at both of our locations on Saturday, May 10, at 10 AM:
Cycle Paul Pointe-Claire: 44 Avenue Ste Anne, Pointe-Claire, QC H9S 4P8
Cycle Paul Vaudreuil: 3681 Bd de la Cité-des-Jeunes, Vaudreuil-Dorion, QC J7V 3Z2
