Bike maintenance in autumn ensures safe riding
The bike maintenance season is heavily focused on spring, which can make bike repair services busier during that time. However, servicing your bike in autumn or winter is highly recommended. Regular maintenance extends the bike’s lifespan and helps prevent larger issues. We work in partnership with bike maintenance businesses to improve conditions for cycling in Espoo. Promoting sustainable lifestyles, like cycling, is a key part of Espoo's strategy.
Cycling is climate-friendly and often the quickest way to travel on daily journeys. Year-round cycling keeps you fit and lifts your mood. Prepare for the winter season by scheduling your bike’s seasonal maintenance in the fall and avoid the rush of springtime. By taking your bike to a maintenance service, you can enjoy safe and pleasant rides. If you plan to cycle throughout the year, you can have winter tires installed during the service. If you cycle only during warm weather, a well-maintained bike will be ready for you in the spring, encouraging you to start the season on two wheels.
Espoo aims to be carbon neutral by 2030. Increasing the share of sustainable mobility options helps the city reach this goal. In 2023, 60 percent of trips made by residents were by public transportation, walking, or cycling. Cycling made up nine percent of all travel modes.
The City of Espoo aims to promote sustainable lifestyles across the Espoo community, and collaboration with companies of all sizes is part of this work. Local bike maintenance providers have been invited to participate in the autumn maintenance campaign, with some offering special deals. These offers are available on the websites of participating bike maintenance shops.
