Woohoo, so I'm not crazy!! All last summer I considered washing my bike in the bathtub, so I'm psyched to see that someone else has actually tried it

What I was thinking of doing was:

- Remove wheels
- Place bike in tub with drain open
- Turn on tap and use water to wet large sponge
- Use sponge to dampen bike
- Use another sponge and bucket of soapy water to actually wash bike
- Turn tap back on and use first sponge to rinse bike
- Remove bike from tub and towel dry
- Throw it into the repair stand and clean drivetrain, etc as usual

Part of the reason I hesitated to do this last year was that I'd just had my bathroom re-modeled. At this point, the tub ain't so new anymore. I just got my pony back from the shop and it needs a good cleaning, so I think I'm gonna go ahead and try this out. Thanks for the reassurance, equus123!
