How often should you get your bike serviced?

Have your bike checked at least once a year, for example in spring. In between, check the tyres, chain and lights yourself.

Veloci recommends at least one professional check a year; the ANWB advises going through the maintenance points annually. A bike mechanic spots wear on brakes, chain and tyres before it causes trouble. An e-bike or high mileage often needs more.

  1. Book an appointment with a bike shop
  2. Have brakes, chain, tyres and lights checked
  3. Have worn parts replaced
  4. Note the date for the next service
