If you live in a climate with four seasons and have just passed from winter to summer, be sure to check any threaded part of your bike.
With the cold/freezing temperatures of winter and the subsequent warming, threaded fasteners can loosen.
Check EVERY threaded fastener (nut, bolt, screw, etcetera).
This can include your brake assemblies, your headset, bottom bracket and crank, even the accessories mounted on your bike like your cyclocomputer and lights.
Better to spend five minutes checking now than be crippled on the road by a loose part.
