How do you get your chain to stay that shiny and, well, light-coloured?

I looked at pics of fossyant's bikes a long time ago and thought that he had the right idea.

There are no excuses for someone who has a 'fair weather' bike.

Until the recent bout of bad stuff on the roads I cleaned my blue bike twice a day, once on arriving at work and then the return.
Since it has been covered in Essex debris I have maltreated it - save for the quick once over.

Oi..the commuter is nearly as good as these two...easy....oily rag - aka..big t-shirts that don't fit cos you aren't as 'plump' as you used to be !!!

Wash it when it's dirty..it will save you a fortune....

Clean bikes are the fastest......nuf said..................

Sorry fossy - when I read what I wrote I knew it would be misunderstood.
What I meant was, there is no excuse for not having a clean machine if it is a fair weather bike - not implying that you only get yer bikes out when it's 20C or above...
A commuter is bound to be dirty at times.
