How to Clean and Maintain a Bicycle

Give It the Hose

  • Rinse off loose dirt. Be sure not to spray directly into the bottom-bracket area, where you could potentially damage your bearings.
  • If you’re washing a mountain bike, be sure to remove that residual mud and dirt from your tires.

Note: If it’s a routine and not a deep cleaning, I’ll forgo the bucket of soapy water and use Finish Line Super Bike Wash spray and a rag.
