Start with reading the Haynes manual.

I think as a minimum, you should at least have a bike.

Or want to ride a bike.

Or know someone who has 800 bikes.

Probably have to employ a sticky out tongue, a spanner or two (of the wrong size), some tea makers, a few ummphs, maybe a couple of plasterers.

Worthing

Plenty of youtube tutorials to check all the basics like tyres, fluids, brakes, cables. Although might be best to leave a racing bike to the experts for the more in depth servicing.

Stop at the side of the road with your swarm of lycra besties and start pulling random but useful crap out of your trusty pack-a-crack shirt&shorts

You'll need 5 kinds of mini spanners, lube, water, oil, packet of mints, few condoms (depends how many in the swarm) and a red triangle.

Anyone bring a flask of tea?

I have questions;

Will the mechanic read my booking form?

Will this service tick all the boxes and be absolutely perfect?

Will it be exactly the service my bike needs?

One must always be safety conscious

Could end badly if an unsuspecting motorist squished the swarm mid-spannering

It's easy.

1) Take the pushbike, throw it in a river/canal

2) Burn your lycra clothing.

Two easy steps and your bike will never give you any trouble again.
