Over time, the grips on your bike will wear out. For safety, it is essential that you replace them. Here are a few simple tips that will make that easier.
(1) Removing the grips
There are several ways to take the grips off. First you will need to take of any handlebar ends or caps which may stop you from removing the grips.
If you don't plan on using them again, you can cut them open with a knife. Otherwise, roll them back a bit, and squirt some soapy water in. Twist it a bit and slide it off. If it does not come off, just add more soap and work it a bit more.
(2) Installing the grips
Make sure that your new grips will fit the handle bars, if not, cut them to size. Slightly wet the entire inside of the grip. Slide it onto the handlebars, and twist until it is fully inserted.
