Drying bike with hairdryer

[Pat "5mph"]

How on earth did you get it wet? My bikes never get wet

Haha! That's because you don't live in Scotland, we carry lifebuoy instead of spare inner tubes

A leaf blower is quicker.

As above - I use a mini leaf blower.

Very fast and gets every last drop of water out of the nooks and crannies.

Although I said the leaf blowers I am lucky enough to have a compressor in the workshop, so tend to use this if I want to dry the bike.

Cool, guys! Only I can't use the suggested equipment in my spare room, have no garage, and out on the veranda it's dark and freezing!

The shower is your friend.

For drying?
Edit: does a leaf blower also not make an awful lot of noise?

Not young - not old either
The English lingo of old sometimes escapes me, 'cause I got here after 1980

The mini leaf blower is not much bigger than my wife's all singing all dancing hair dryer.

How big a garden have you got?

After giving this subject all of my undivided attention for the last day I have come up with a brilliant idea.

After you wash the bike take it out for a ride. That will dry it off.

Dunno, big enough to clean lots of Belles bikes I guess. You know, ladies bikes are smaller of course

A wet bike drying organically replaces the moisture that the central heating takes out of the air in the flat. Besides, I don't own a hair dryer. And I'm not going to let electricity suppliers' shareholders make money out of fast forwarding a natural process.
