Bike Cleaning.
Note about bike cleaning. "Cleaning the bike adds to its life and performance by removing dirt, grime, salt and grit. Washing also allows you to more closely inspect the frame and component parts. Keeping the bike clean also adds to one's feeling of wellbeing. Although cleaning helps the bike's performance, overzealous washing and rinsing can wash out grease from bearings."
