British Cycling’s M-Check is a quick, intuitive and easy to remember routine for ensuring that your bike is in good working order and is safe before every ride. The first area of the check begins with the front wheel. The video will show you how to check the condition of the wheel, hub, front brake and the forks.

If you identify a problem during the check that you are unable to repair yourself, your bike should be taken to the local bike shop to be fixed.
