There is a reason the ancient culture of the Etruscans developed the viticulture of olives and production of olive oil. It serves multiple purposes in bicycle maintenance. Specifically, when you rent a bike with worn threads in the pedal bore holes, olive oil is the solution to screwing in your pedals without scratching the threads. Those Etruscans sure were smart! And good farmers too! We for our part prefer only organic agriturismo oil from AgriRistorante La Palma. Also, it tastes really good on bread and other good things. Ciao!
