When was the last time you went over your bike?
Have you looked at it minutely? Did you check for cracks, blisters in the paint, scars and dents?
How old are your cranks? How about your handlebars?
What about going over each wheel, spoke by spoke? Checking the nipples and their perches? The hubs where the spokes attach?
What about the seatpost clamp?
Every one of these is a site for a potential crack, and a bad failure.
Periodically examine each and every weld, and every part of your bike.
You just may prevent a nasty crash.
