Don't people wash their bikes in Alton?
what a mucky mess of unkept bikes on show last night
You've had all summer to wash and polish your pride and joy
then the first wednesday of the month with the sun shining,
and everyone turns up on heaps of junk.[1]
Just don't understand it.

What is this 'wash' of which you speak?

You're joking, right?

>Just don't understand it.

Well I don't understand people keeping their bikes spotlessly clean
and shiny. Waste of good drinking or riding time, I've always felt.

Neither agree nor disagree, sort of.

When commuting 300 miles into and out of London every week plus weekends
around and about and I was quite careful to keep whatever I was riding
gone over with a MKI eyeball and an oily rag fairly regularly with not a
second thought. Not doing that anymore and my bike is just rotting away
under an accumulating layer of grime.

I tend to rely on environmental detailing to keep the fleet relatively
smart.

There wasn't a mint RC30 there was there? He was alongside me at the lights
in Farnham and I was rather surprised when the drifter left him for dead at
the go signal.
I guessed he didn't want to wear it out.
