How far do you commute?

[GoldOxide_imp]

I have never covered any of my bikes while parked in blazing heat or torrential downpours. The [decent] bikes are engineered to take it. I never had a problem starting a soaking wet cycle, even those [Japanese] models from the 1970's.

I never wipe down my ride, unless a bird had its way with it - especially on the saddle and handle grips.
