I've given up worrying about the chain ring grease on my legs- what does puzzle me however is how I get chain ring grease on my t shirts which never go near my bike. Is it possible for bike chains to projectile shed their grease?
honestly, I found chain grease on my gym towel which goes from the gym bag to open air in the gym to the the gym bag to the washing machine to the gym bag this morning. Weird.

A soft nail brush or scrubbie sponge will help with the grease.

Wet-ones are good for cleaning grease. I keep a container in my bike bag all the time.
Also a little baby oil works.

I have been riding for 6 years, and I swear I *STILL* get one every time I ride.
I just leave-em unless I remember to scrub it in the shower. I consider it an accessory to any outfit.
And yes, I've thought about getting a chainring tat like the one above- I might as well since I pretty much have one all the time in varying degrees of completion.Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com
