Bike has been stored in garage for a few years (tires now have no air and gray tube is sticking out), what needs to be done before I can ride it? I don't really know that much about bikes but I don't want to have to pay a lot of money for someone else to fix it if I can do it myself. Thanks

Basically check the condition of the tires, if they look dry and cracked it is better to replace them, The gray tube that is sticking out is the inner tube which holds the air for the tire. If that looks good just fill it up with air to the recommended air pressure on the side of the tire and put some light oil on the chain and the bike will be road ready. If after a few days your tires lose air again, it would be better to replace the inner tubes.
