The shower enclosure proved to be a bit too small for both the bike and the operative. The only way to get to the hard to reach parts was to get in with the bike. I'm no big fan of cold showers. Perhaps next time I'll wear my wetsuit.

The shower is a great place to wash a bike, especially after riding on wet salty roads as warm water will wash the salt off nicely. Just don't do it upside-down or water will penetrate the steerer bearings.

Solve all your problems-dont take the bike outside. Send the wife out instead and you can always wash her in the shower!!

Well, I wax my paintwork with car polish, if that's what you mean.

Serious roadies are of course well known for their depilation fetish.

Surely you Wax your paintwork with Car Wax? If you were using Car Polish then you would be Polishing the bike. ;)

Car polish polishes with a fine abrasive in a volatile solvent then leaves a thin film of carnauba wax when you buff off the abrasive.
