Cmon, remove the saddle bag and bottle first!Obviously after a ride on salty roads you need to wash the salt off with warm water:
What cleaning materials etc do people use, do you need to buy bike specific items?

WOW!, Super efficient.After each ride I hose the bike down, dry and polish it. On a Saturday night, the bike I'm taking out for a Sunday ride gets a chain clean, cassette clean, the air let out of the tyres and inspected for flints/cuts and then pumped up to correct pressure, and all allen key bolts checked to make sure nothings loose.
Each to his own I say.I don't think many of the posters here spend much time actually riding their bikes given the amount of cleaning and polishing they appear to give them. Some of us are actually out there riding mile after mile after mile. I clean mine every 6 to 8 weeks. Bike specific chain lubes are expensive rip off rubbish. Use chain saw oil instead £4.99 for one litre and it sticks to the chain like custard to a clean cycling jersey.
