Definitely service while you wait, and definitely basic maintenance, Ken. It's ABC Quick Check stuff:
Air in the tires?
Brakes work?
Chain lubed?
Quick release/bolts tight?
Check for any other loose & rattly parts.
If your bike needs more than that, bring another bike.
Think bike shop staffed by middle schoolers who have learned to do the above, come on down, and share in this amazing thing.
