I have a Schwin Discover City Series bike. It's a road/mountain bike hybrid. I've had it for about a year and a half. I ride it on the boardwalk in my city about 3-5 times a week, for about 5-10 miles per day between April and October.
The bike is beginning to show a bit of wear and tear. I keep the tires regularly inflated at the proper pressure, but I'm curious as to what other routine maintenance I should be making?
Also, I'm assuming a bike shop is likely to rip me off on some maintenance that I can probably handle myself. Are there maintenance kits out there for people who are handy enough to do the maintenance themselves?
