Would you ever pay to get your bike cleaned?

I don't but my flatmates shouldn't leave theirs in the shower.

I would use the bath, but it would then take an hour afterwards to clean up to my partner's satisfaction. plus the flat I rent has a 'luxury' bathroom, which roughly translates as silly shaped taps which are dicks to add cleaning attachments too.

I used to wash my bikes in the bathtub too, but then I live alone...

I got the ultimatum once by my ex about washing mag wheels in the bath. Take note of the word ex.

I've been meaning to find petrol stations with Jet wash anyone know of any heading towards SW, fulhham, putney, barnes, etc

micycle would be worth a try

When I worked there it was :) you can buy a membership and then use their bike wash and the public tooling.

They are too powerful and damage your bike. Avoid unless desperate.

In other news I paid a pound at the Epping forest bike hire place so that I could wash my own bike - included muc off and was one of the best £1s I’ve spent :)

nice! actually.... isn't there something similar by the mtb track at the velopark? friend of mine often recounts the lovely time he and a few other folks had washing the mud off their bikes after last year's hub velo Strade Bianche Di Essex.

Yep there are hoses by the end / start of the MTB track. Quite powerful so beware....
