Cycling is a fantastic way to get around, stay fit, and pretend to be in a cool advertisement while trying to avoid potholes. However, even the most seasoned cyclists can fall victim to common mistakes that not only make you look less like a Tour de France contender and more like a comedy sketch. To help you steer clear of these blunders, we've compiled a short list of the top mistakes to avoid. Remember, the only thing worse than a flat tire is a flat sense of humor!

1. Neglecting Your Equipment: You wouldn't ride a horse without checking if it has hay in its belly, right? Similarly, failing to maintain your bike is one of the quickest paths to disaster. Always check your brakes and tires to avoid more embarrassing incidents than just finding out you've overcooked the spaghetti.
2. Ignoring the Road Rules: While you may feel like a daring road warrior, disregard traffic signals at your own risk! Avoid morphing into a human jack-in-the-box as cars zoom past you. Remember, the road is for everyone, and obeying the rules will ensure you're not just famous in your own mind!

Cyclists have a unique sense of humor, often finding joy in the little things, especially when it comes to puns related to their favorite pastime. Here are the Top 10 Puns Every Cyclist Will Appreciate:
