This is the second video in the series on urban biking for MIND THE GAP. The first was called Overcoming Your Fears. I wanted to try urban biking for several years before I finally overcame my fears. Once I did, I loved riding but quickly started wondering why I was going so much slower than other bikers. One of the people that started to unravel this mystery for me was Ben, at Treat Street Bicycle Works. I went to see him about several flat tires, and started learning the importance of having my seat at the right height and my tires inflated to the maximum capacity to give me a more efficient ride. Here are some tips. Feel free to add additional tips in the comment section. Laura, Series Producer
