🚲 Mobility Minute: ABC Quick Check Before Every Ride!
Hey Clatsop County riders! With beautiful weather ahead, it's the perfect time to dust off those bikes and hit the trails and roads safely.
Check out this quick tip from Sunset Empire Transportation District: the ABC Quick Check — your simple pre-ride routine to keep you safe and rolling smoothly.
✅ A = Air — Make sure your tires are properly inflated to the recommended PSI (check the sidewall) and free of punctures.
✅ B = Brakes — Test both front and rear brakes. They should stop you cleanly and the levers should be easy to reach.
✅ C = Cranks & Chain — Give the pedals a spin. Everything should move smoothly without sticking, grinding, or loose parts.
Also, don’t forget to check your quick-release levers (wheels and seat) are tight!
Watch the full 1-minute video here: https://youtu.be/T2mIEaW5sMs
Pro tip: If anything feels off, take your bike to a local shop for a professional tune-up. Safety first!

🚲 Minuto de Movilidad: ¡Revisión Rápida ABC antes de cada salida!
¡Hola, ciclistas del condado de Clatsop! Con el buen tiempo que se avecina, es el momento perfecto para desempolvar esas bicicletas y salir a recorrer senderos y carreteras con seguridad.
Echa un vistazo a este consejo rápido del Distrito de Transporte Sunset Empire: la Revisión Rápida ABC; tu sencilla rutina previa a la salida para mantenerte seguro y rodar sin contratiempos.
✅ A = Aire — Asegúrate de que tus neumáticos estén inflados correctamente a la presión recomendada (PSI; revisa el flanco del neumático) y libres de pinchazos.
✅ B = Frenos — Prueba tanto el freno delantero como el trasero. Deben detenerte de manera limpia y las manetas deben ser de fácil alcance.
✅ C = Bielas y Cadena — Haz girar los pedales. Todo debe moverse con fluidez, sin atascarse, sin ruidos de fricción ni piezas sueltas.
Además, ¡no olvides comprobar que las palancas de cierre rápido (de las ruedas y del sillín) estén bien ajustadas!

Consejo profesional: Si notas que algo no funciona bien, lleva tu bicicleta a un taller local para que le hagan una puesta a punto profesional. ¡La seguridad es lo primero!
