It's warmer than doing it with a bucket outside. I can take off the front wheel. What's not to like?
Should I wash the bike in the shower?

It will be fine to wash your bike in the shower ..Just remember to use the toilet brush to clean in those

Don't use hot water in your shower unless you want your lube to be rinsed out.
Lube and Shower in same sentence - good start to the year!

With the front wheel off, it should be possible if the forks stick up vertically.
Edit: Actually, it fits with both wheels on. My daughter will fear for my sanity when she finds it there when she returns later in the morning.

My bike goes in the shower regularly. Cool water only. We don't have a shower cubicle, but a wet room so it's nice and easy to clean the bike off.
Hubster has stopped complaining and now showers his bike instead of taking it outside and doing a "proper job" with a bucket of cold water and a sponge. In cold temperatures, this seems to have lost it's charm for him

How long before Barry Scott does a Cillet Bang for Bikes?

Shocking. My colleagues bar tape is much worse, and it's on a rather nice Willier Gran Tourismo which is a fair few £'s. I've told him he is a skank.
