I've come back to my bike after a year away (bought a house, became a dad, got tired, had no time - the usual). My bike is now looking very lively with mould.
Anyone got any advise on cleaning it up? Disinfectant? Mould remover? Jet wash? Whats the best to use?
And - can the tyres be rejuvenated and used again or will I have to a new pair?

Thanks in advance.

Soap and water or an antibacterial wipe will get it off. It’s nothing to worry about and will come off easily.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
