Why do you oil the chain on your bike?
to make it run smoothly, stop it from rusting and it makes it easier to pedal! If it isn't oiled or lubricated in any other way, all the parts that make up the chain will drag more as they move against each other, making pedalling harder. The chain will also wear out quicker. If it isn't oiled or greased the chain will eventually begin to rust, and rusty parts take even more power to get them to move against each other.
