Cleaning a bike is therapy. I keep mine clean, when it gets dirty, I wash it. Its easy, it doesn't take very long. Its more than a tool to take my from point A to point B, I'm attatched to it, its part of me, part of who I am, I care about it as I care about myself. I take care of myself, I take care of the bike, when I'm dirty, I bath, when the bike is dirty, I clean it. Its my choice thats all.
