8.2.2.1 Preventing punctures
There are ways to prevent punctures beside mounting puncture
resistant tyres. Please check the following check-up and riding tips.
Check-ups
● Check the surface of your tyres from time to time, running
your hand or fingers over the surface. This way you might
find sharp objects logged in the outer surface before they
puncture the inner tube of your tyre. Be careful doing this with
your bare hands.
● Check the wear of your tyres. The tread of your tyres will
become thinner over the distance, making it easier to be
punctured.
● Keep your tyres at the correct tyre pressures. Low tyre
pressures will increase the chance of picking up dirt and
debris. Low tyre pressures can also cause pinch punctures
where the inner tube is damaged by being pinched between
rim and tyre over bumps. For correct tyre pressures please
check paragraph 5.4.

Riding tips
● Avoid riding through potholes.
● Avoid riding into train/tram tracks. The tyres are wide
enough not to be caught by the track but your steering will be
affected.
● Avoid train/tram track in the wet. Don't cross them at too
parallel an angle. The track can be very slippery.
● Avoid hitting curbstones at too high a speed. It may cause
damage to your bike.
● The side of the road is where dirt accumulates. Avoid riding
there if there is room in traffic and the situation allows.
● Have an eye on the road and drive around debris and dirt
sitting on the road. Having a safe road position is more
important though, don't change direction without checking the
traffic around you.
In case of a puncture don't continue riding. There is a big chance
you will damage the tyre, the wheel or even the frame. Dismount the
bike and walk home.

Cycling with a punctured tyre can cause seriously reduced
road holding which may lead to loss of control of the bike.
Never continue cycling in case of a punctured tyre.
At home you can:
● Fix the puncture yourself in case you have good access to
the puncture: use a repair kit and follow the instructions that
come with the repair kit.
● Fix the puncture yourself in case you don't have good access
