Sometimes you need professional help for projects and other times you make a go of it on your own. The Bicycle Tutor, run by Alex Ramon who resides in Vancouver, B.C., is a web site aimed at helping you do basic repairs and maintenance on your own. One of the most important and simple steps you can take to keep your bike in good condition is to lubricate parts appropriately.
Without a doubt the most important part on any bike that needs to be maintained is the chain. How many of you out there have heard a squeak and immediately reached for the bottle of WD-40? Well, as the Bicycle Tutor explains, this is not a good idea.

Wow. I had no idea. Fortunately, I DO have a bottle of Phil’s Tenacious Oil and use it. I’ll never look at WD-40 the same way again!
