 It's a beautiful day and you just want to jump on your bike and go, but wait, are you sure you got everything you need, bro? Before you take any bike ride, here's a list of top five things you need to check. You should check they air in your tires about every two weeks. It naturally leaks over time and low tire pressure can cause pinch flats. Make sure to fill up before you head out using a floor pump. You need to carry a spare tube with you on every ride and if you're with friends be cool and bring two. You also want to carry a patch kit with you as a last resort. You don't want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere without any options. You're gonna need a way to blow up your tube if you get a flat. You can either bring a small hand pump with you or a co2 pump. Co2 is a one-shot deal and a hand pump you can use multiple times, so that's what we recommend. They're small enough to fit in your jersey pocket or your saddle bag or your man purse. So there's no reason not to bring one. You don't need a bunch of greasy tools in your pocket, just the essentials. A couple of tire levers, a 15 millimeter wrench to take your wheels off and maybe even a small Allen wrench to adjust any loose bolts. Put this in a Ziploc bag to carry it with you or in your saddle bag if you have one. We never forget our ID or our phone when we ride. This is important in case there's an emergency or you really need this hot chicks phone number. You also want to carry with you a few bucks. This is for stopping for coffee of course. Besides emergencies, we can use our phone to track how many miles we've ridden using the Strava app. If you're new to this, you should check it out. You can join the Purefix racing team on Strava, see our weekly workouts and even win prizes for riding. Thanks for checking out another episode of Purefix TV.
