DO NOT BIKE WITHOUT TAPE AND A PUMP! also, if your handlebars or seat wont stay put no matter how hard you tighten the screws, use semi-permanent Thread-Lock to hold it. don’t use wd-40 on a bike chain or gears. it gunks it up. go to your local bike store and get a special chain oil. when you’ve blown a flat and you dont have a spare tube, tape over the hole will at leaset get you by for a while if you have a small pump.
