    Hmmm, wow. I never would have thought of that either. Of course, I've really tried to forget all of that nasty chemistry stuff I was forced to take in college. I'll keep that in mind just in case. Sorry that happened to you but thanks for sharing it with the rest of us so we all can learn from it.

    At least you have a good excuse to buy new bikey stuff.

    Wow! Yeah, I wouldn't have thought of it, either, but remember what those spa chemicals used to do to everything that was int he cupboard. Blech! X is right - new bike stuff is good!

    Hugs and butterflies,

    I don't see this as being a common problem as most people don't have a spa, hot tub, or pool.
    I do have a room for my bikes, though.

    This is quiet pertinent to me, actually. I am housesitting right now (longish term), and the hot tub is in the living room, where my bike is also in the trainer!

    (Have to say...love the hot tub in the living room...)

    Slight hijack - me too! It is supposed to be the, uh, guest room - but instead we have two bikes, bench, free weights, mats, exercise balls, TV & DVD player, fan.....oh yeah, and a sleep sofa "just in case".
