I’m curious. I know where my life diverged and where I would’ve been a car guy otherwise, would be interested to see what the dealio with other people is or whether they even ever thought about it

    The first step is to take it inside, even if that’s inside a shed.

    Then you wanna either replace or soak the chain in something called “chain brite”.

    Once the pedals spin and the chain transmits that spin to the rear wheel, see if the brakes work. If the cables are stuck you can drip some kind of penetrating oil into them to help get things moving again. Sometimes I give up and replace the cables.

    Once you can make the bike go and stop, pump up the tires and see how it rides.
