• I prefer to just reapply a nice layer of lube on top of the existing shit and grime. I really do feel for my bike at this time of year. Consistent abuse. The last thing you want to do after getting in after an hour and a half in the dark/rain/traffic is to clean it

  • Not even a cursory chain wipe down with an old t-shirt? Even I'm not that harsh.
    Also, the more water I can take off the bike outside the less ends up all over the house.

  • My wife recently threw away my stash of old t-shirts: I'm planning to protest by wearing the one I'd been using as an oily rag next time we meet up with friends.
