Car & Bicycle Maintenance
Most roadside problems are visible in a ten-minute check beforehand. Start with tyre pressure and tread, then the four fluids and the wiper blades, and keep the jump-start and wheel-change sequence written down rather than relying on memory at the roadside. The bicycle guides cover the same idea for a chain and an inner tube. For anything involving brakes, steering or structural damage, use a qualified mechanic.
