What are the best techniques for applying bike griptape to ensure a secure and long-lasting grip on the handlebars?

To apply bike grip tape securely and ensure a long-lasting grip on the handlebars, start by cleaning the handlebars thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue. Next, carefully peel off the backing of the grip tape and wrap it tightly around the handlebars, making sure there are no wrinkles or bubbles. Use a hairdryer to heat the grip tape slightly, which will help it adhere better. Finally, trim any excess tape and secure the ends with electrical tape for added durability.
