Before wintertime hibernation, bicycles forage and fill their inner tubes with enough sustenance to feed training-wheeled cubs come spring, a noble act that often leads to serious exhaustion. Help spin the spokes of life with today's Groupon: for $30, you get a full bike tune-up at Recycle Bicycle, located in Berkeley.

The savvy staff at Recycle Bicycle carries 13 years in passionate service and cycle surgery to treat your two-wheeler to a refreshing, comprehensive tune-up. They'll use healing hands and dependable tools to check and adjust your headset, bottom bracket, and derailleurs as needed. A thorough cleansing and lubrication of the chain, cog, and chain rings of your drive train leaves the engine hydrated before long charity races through the Rust Belt. After restoring balance to the bike with a truing of the wheels, the dashing specialists will wash the frame and wheels, leaving your iron traveler looking shiny and sleek.

Regular tune-ups go a long way toward preserving your bike's confidence to conquer the concrete jungle while warding off the junkyard. Enthusiasm and experience ring through each helpful note of advice from the friendly staff at Recycle Bicycle, unlike at a department store, where no one can tell if your bike frame is bent, your brakes are loose, and your front tire has been stabbed repeatedly with a 16-inch serrated knife.
