Page "Bicycle" Paragraph 81

Some bicycle parts, particularly hub-based gearing systems, are complex, and many cyclists prefer to leave maintenance and repairs to professional bicycle mechanics.

In some areas it is possible to purchase road-side assistance from companies such as the Better World Club.

Other cyclists maintain their own bicycles, perhaps as part of their enjoyment of the hobby of cycling or simply for economic reasons.

A cyclist's ability to repair and maintain their own bicycle is also celebrated within the DIY movement.
