Once a week I fill the tires, which seems to be enough. And I check and
lube the chain every 2-4 weeks. I'll probably add more inspection on

The bike doesn't take nearly the same beating as the MTB, but I do ride
it down a bumpy unpaved bit at the end of every commute. Also the
commute is only 5-6 miles per day, so I'm not putting tons of mileage
on. (The hanger bolt fell out after 3 years, for example.)
