Cycling in autumn allows you to rediscover Brussels in incredible colors. But this season, with its wet days and slippery surfaces, requires a few adjustments to ensure safe riding. VANELO offers you a practical guide to maintaining your bike in autumn, to ensure comfort and safety on every ride.

This fall’s bike maintenance essentials

1. Tires and grip
   Leaves and rain make the ground slippery. Make sure your tires are well inflated and in good condition to maximize grip.
2. Lubricating the chain and moving parts
   Moisture accelerates rust. Remember to lubricate your chain so that it remains functional, even in wet weather.
3. Cleaning after each outing
   Mud and leaves can build up and block certain parts. A quick clean-up after each outing helps prevent premature wear.
4. Brake check
   In autumn, brakes can become less effective. Make sure they work properly and are not slippery.
5. Increased visibility
   Shorter days mean you need to be visible. Equip your bike with reflective elements to ensure your safety.
