To Wash or To Wipe Down Your Bike?

By RL Policar
January 26, 2011 1 Min Read

After posting this video “How I wash my Bike”; two different schools of thought came about. 1 says, “Yes I wash my bike with a hose…” the other side says, “”Hells no sucka! I use is bottled bike wash and wipe it down!”

I kinda flip flop back and forth on this one for one reason, you see, I have no hose in my garage or near it, so that leads me to use the Finishline Bike Wash about 60% of the time. However, I’d much prefer to use a citrus degreaser and a water hose to clean of my bikes.

So I’m curious to know, what other riders do; hose or spray bottle?

    when I do it, all the homeless guys and alcoholics in my neighborhood all come out and start licking my bikes…I gotta chase them away with a broom!
