Like the Tin Man, bikes need to be properly lubed or they’ll break down on long journeys and be carried away by flying monkeys. Protect your ride from elemental forces with today's Groupon: for $22 you get a bike tune-up at Cycling Journey (a $45 value).

The mechanical masterminds at Cycling Journey tune road- and trail-weary bikes and send them home the next day. Maintenance service starts with a thorough cable greasing, which keeps brakes on key for folk karaoke performances. Next, a mechanic realigns wheels and bearings and finishes with a thorough bike bath, distracting it with a rubber ducky while scrubbing behind its handlebars. Additional fees may apply if other parts or accessories are needed. Though additional items are not included in this Groupon, Cycling Journey also sells bike accessories and clothing and maintains its position as a fixture in the local cycling community with weekly rides.
