Learning bike maintenance, repairs, and road safety tips in a biking 101 class is also a good idea. For example, here’s a simple way to reattach a bike chain that’s fallen off.

• Your bike isn’t broken if the chain comes off the front chain ring or rear cogset, but it will require you to fully stop and get your hands a bit dirty reattaching the chain.
• You can use your finger or a small stick to gently pull the chain back onto the closest groove in the rear nearest the frame.
• Then lift the rear wheel up off the ground and peddle backward to realign the chain on the cogset.
• Finally, go through the gears peddling forward to make sure the chain goes through each gear properly, and you’re off!
