The Tour de Shore will be an exciting event and fun day for all who attend. To help you get ready for this exciting event, we have compiled some items for your checklist to make sure you're ready to tackle the 2008 Tour de Shore:

Tire Checklist

□ Squeeze your bike’s  tires  to make sure that they are inflated.
□ Use a bicycle tire pump with a gauge to check that your tires are properly inflated.
□ Check your tires to make sure they are up to the ride: good tread, clean rubber and no cracks in the sidewall.

Brakes Checklist

□ Spin the wheels on your bike, and make sure the tire rims are not rubbing on the brake pads.
□ Check the brake pads: is there enough rubber?
□ Apply the brakes. Does the brake cable properly move, and return to position?
□ Check the brakes. When applying the brakes the brake pad should apply pressure to the rim not the sidewall of the tire.

Bike Checklist

□ Does the chain need lubricated?
□ Inspect the chain: single speed bicyle chains should not be sagging.
□ Is the seat in the proper position?
□ Is the seat at the right height for you?
