    Silly question...but what if your bike just gets wet. Meaning, you are not riding her...but she is in the rain anyway?

    I ask because I am picking up my bike from the LBS tonight (new bike check up and computer install) and it's supposed to rain all day. Other than wiping her off carefully when I get her home is there anything else I need to do?

    I hope not..because quite frankly I don't know how to do much else.

    Wiping her off should be adequate. But if the bike was outside your car doing 65 mph on the highway in a downpour, she would need more TLC.
    Oil is good, grease is better.

    Thanks Deb- Luckily, no highways between my house and the LBS...probably about 40 mph for short stretches with most of it being about 25 mph.
