In the spirit of Bike to Work Week, June being Bike Month, and the general amazing feat that today it was warm out, I thought I'd make this post an open thread about DIY bike stuff.

Tell us, Vancouver, what are your brilliant bike-maintenance tips? Have you come up with a wicked bike hack? Share your smarts in the comments – we'll make this a page people can bookmark for inspiration and learning!

I'm afraid I don't actually know a thing about my new-last-season lovely red bike. But I did come across this great video from Etsy on super basic bike-maintenance. I actually feel like I can do something with my bike now. So that means I'm even more eager to learn from you all. Speak up!
