The Sun Is Out — Spring Is Almost Here. Is Your Bike Ready?

As the days get longer and the sun starts to warm the coast, one thing becomes clear across Santa Monica and the Westside: spring riding season is almost here. Beach paths fill up, canyon roads call your name, and e-bikes become the smartest way to get around town again.

But before you roll out for your first spring ride, there’s one critical question to ask:

Is your bicycle or e-bike actually ready to ride?

Winter Storage Takes a Toll on Bikes and E-Bikes

Even in Southern California, bikes that sit unused for weeks or months can quietly develop problems. Common issues we see every spring include:

  • Dry or contaminated chains

  • Low tire pressure or cracked sidewalls

  • Worn brake pads or spongy hydraulic brakes

  • Sluggish or misaligned shifting

  • Loose bolts and safety-critical components

  • E-bike batteries that haven’t been properly maintained or updated

On electric bikes, these issues are even more important. A bike may look fine, but unseen mechanical or electrical problems can affect performance, safety, and battery life.

That’s why spring is the most important service season of the year.

Why Spring Service Matters More Than You Think

Skipping service at the start of the season often leads to:

  • Premature drivetrain wear

  • Reduced battery range

  • Poor braking performance

  • Costly repairs later in the year

A properly serviced bike rides smoother, lasts longer, and—most importantly—keeps you safe.

Spring is also when service departments get busy. Bringing your bike in early means faster turnaround and more riding time when the weather is at its best.

Get Back on the Bike — And Back in Shape

Spring riding isn’t just about transportation. It’s about feeling good again.

Riding your bike or e-bike is one of the best ways to:

  • Improve cardiovascular health

  • Build strength and endurance

  • Reduce stress

  • Spend more time outdoors

Whether you’re commuting, riding the beach path, or exploring local hills, a properly tuned bike makes riding more enjoyable—and keeps you motivated to ride more often.
