What are you using to clean your chain? I've never had to use anything but soap and water to clean my hands after using citrus degreaser and then lubing.

Bike cleaning has been a bit of a problem for me, too. I live in an apartment with no place to hose or sponge the bike down with water. One great idea I did have (if I do say so myself) was to pick up a big utility drip tray at the local auto supply store. I put that under the bike and it catches all the drips from chain cleaning/lubing, then wipes or rinses clean. The problem, though, is when the rest of the bike needs to be cleaned. Has anyone ever tried putting their bike in the bathtub and using a handheld shower head to spray it down? As long as the water's not turned on too far and the shower head's not set to, like, hard massage or something, the bearings should be ok. What concerns me is the condition the tub might be in afterwards. I'm seriously considering trying this, though. Does it sounds totally crazy?
