First, turn your bike upside down. Turn the crank with one hand while applying lube with the other. Use a rag to evenly distribute lube and collect excess.

While raising the rear tire off the ground, use your hand to begin turning the pedal so that the chain turns. Then apply oil to the chain.

Hold the back wheel up off the ground, or have someone else help. Drip oil onto an exposed section of chain while turning the pedals by hand.
