2. Check your wheels: Make sure they don’t have anything stuck in them, like leaves or sticks.

| 3. Check your brakes: Make sure that they work. To test this, squeeze on the hand brakes and then try to move your bike forward. If the wheels do not move, they work. |
| 4. Check your chain: Make sure that it is around the crank, and make sure that the pedals move properly. |
| 5. Check your seat: Make sure that it is not too high up. You should be able place both of your feet firmly on the ground when you are not pedaling. |
| 6. Check your lights: If it is night time, make sure that you have your headlight turned on or your reflectors in the right places. |
