Only the best for my bike
Partially in response to PJM’s winter bike riding tips I wanted to clean my bike before I left for a while. However, I live in an apartment building and there appears to be no hose in the basement and I couldn’t find a sink or water spicket. I thought it was going to be a huge production to clean it but it turned out to be quite easy. I brought my bike outside, used my Brita water container (the largest container I have) and poured it all over the important parts. Then I sprayed some lubricant on the chain and brought it inside. It took about 5 minutes. I have no idea if I accomplished anything (maybe you need more pressurized water than filtered Brita) to actually dislodge sand from the mechanics-but I tried.
I am all packed and ready to go. I am going to take a brief nap and then drive over to the gym and either spin or arc trainer or something and then leave right from there for NJ. I’m trying to wait rush hour out…
Happy holidays all :)
