Begin with the handlebars section. Check if they move sideways or front to back. Mark 'OK' if they cannot move.
Next, assess the saddle position. Ensure it is at the correct height and secure by checking for looseness.
Inspect the tires for low pressure or wear. Use the thumb test to ensure they are adequately inflated.
Move on to hand brakes and coaster foot brakes. Check for worn pads and frayed cables, marking 'OK' if everything functions effectively.
Evaluate hand grips to ensure they are covered and do not twist easily.
Finally, review reflectors and lights for visibility and secure attachment, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
