By restoring an old bicycle you can save money, as well as gaining a really good understanding of how your bike works, and also have the chance to personalise it. I feel much more motivated to ride regularly now that I've spent a few weeks working on the machine.

A bicycle mechanic or bike mechanic is a mechanic who can perform a wide range of repairs on bicycles.

Bicycle repairers are also called: Bicycle Fitter. Bicycle Mechanic. Bicycle Repair Technician.

Bicycles are Physics in Action! Gears linked together by a chain increase the pedaling force. The pedal crank levers increase the pedal force. Spokes make the wheel strong and support the mass of the rider. The brake shoes apply friction to the rim to change energy into heat, which slows the bike down.
