My 5 top tips are:
1. Fit mudguards and mudflaps.
2. Keep it clean. A regular soapy wash is great
3. Keep it lubed.
4. Keep tyres inflated to almost the max pressure.
5. Swap derailleur gears for hub gears.

We've grown London's network of cycleways by over 450% since 2016 - enabling millions of people to cycle safely around the capital every week.
