This mechanism can become very stiff. It responds well to the application of some lubricant. I take the easy way out and spray some WD40 or similar into all the moving parts. The smooth action lasts for months.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine.

It it moves and it shouldn't - Gaffer Tape
If it doesn't move & it should - WD40
Anything else is far too technical for me.

Some silicone spray might be a good option
