Best way to clean my bike?

[TrekTheKaty]

at the end of a ride I routinely check over and wipe down the tires, checking for nicks and scrapes, I oppen the brakes and dry wipe off the road grint, clean the surface of the rim where they touch, clean the cogwheels on the derailleliur with a dry rag, wipe off the chain thotoughly and wipe down the frame for general grime. If I have been rained on I take extra care to wipe everything dry.

I'm a bad bike mama! I try to rinse off once a month and relube chain. Or when I look down at my top tube and say "EEWWW!" Or after riding on the Katy which is crushed gravel. Or when the chain starts to get "chunky?!"

Armor all does work well.
