Chain Grease on my leg

[kajero]

So I'm a klutz. I got of my bike and managed to brush my leg against the chain. Now I have grease on my leg. How do I get off. Soap and water sure doesn't work

Dawn dishwashing liquid should do the trick.

Any dishwashing liquid ... or soap and water plus a rag ... or whatever hand cleaner you usually use.

One of the ride leaders in my area has a real ink tattoo on his leg that at a glance, from a distance, looks pretty much like a chainring print. He gets a lot of double-takes.

we call those chainring tattoos and why wash them off?

Olive oil or lotion work for me.

I let it soak into the grease and rub it in to lift the grease from my skin, then wipe the greasy oil or lotion off. Repeat as needed.

Seems to work well on my pale thin dry skin.

Some people pay good money for the chainring tattoo. I think this is quite tasteful.

I've given up worrying about the chain ring grease on my legs- what does puzzle me however is how I get chain ring grease on my t shirts which never go near my bike. Is it possible for bike chains to projectile shed their grease?

honestly, I found chain grease on my gym towel which goes from the gym bag to open air in the gym to the the gym bag to the washing machine to the gym bag this morning. Weird.
