I just bought my first track bike, second-hand. I don't really know anything much about bikes, should I get it looked at/serviced? I haven't got a lot of money, what's the cheapest way to educate myself about maintenance etc?
At the end of an hour long ride today, when I was going fast, the chain slipped and stopped the back wheel. Nearly threw me off, luckily there was no trafic behind me. What might cause that? And is there anything I can do about it?
One last thing - I'm riding every day along the regents canal and it's pretty bumpy. Obviously this bike is designed for a track - are these bumps going to muck it up?
also I heard that bumping around on bikes can reduce your sperm count - what's to be done about that?
Cheers!
