  1. My bicycle pulls to the right. Does anyone have a idea what
    could cause this?

    If the bicycle pulls to the right the fork is probably bent
    to the left. I assume you mean it makes you lean to the left
    when riding no-hands. In that case, bending the fork, one
    blade at a time, (about 3mm at a time) to the (lean to) side
    corrects that tendency.

    Usually a bent fork. Other rare possibilities: the rear
    wheel is not properly aligned in the dropouts or the
    frame is bent.

    Has the bike been crashed recently, or perhaps bashed by a
    car in its usual parking spots?

    If your front wheel is straight on and your back wheel seems
    straight when you look at its position near the bottom
    bracket, your rear wheel may not be properly dished. But,
    just try and reset your wheels first.
