    I knew my white bike needed a wash when I went to a get together that many of my biking friends attended. Everyone came out to see my new bike. Then my friend looked at the bike and started suggesting the cleaning products I could use to make it look new again. I guess i better wash/clean it.

    But I do like my white bike a lot better than the matte blue one I almost bought just to save money. It was that bike that was on sale or the same bike in white (not on sale). Well, seeing as I didn't want to hate the color everytime I got on the bike, the white with blue pinstriping won!

    White bike owner here with brown accents, it's a Specalized Expedition and my other bike is cream colored with black accents. I never thought I would pick a white bike but I really like it and also keep it fairly clean. Since I keep it waxed it wipes down easily enough unless I've spent a lot of time on wet/muddy dirt roads, then it needs the hose. I get a lot of comments on my bike about people loving how it looks.

    I too kind of like how it looks with a little mud splashed on it, but don't leave it on long

    My bike isn't predominantly white but there are quite a bit of white accents which brighten it up. My rear derailleur and hoods are white too. Because I keep it indoors, I wipe down with a damp cloth after every ride. I don't know how long the derailleur will stay white though, and I'd like to change out the hoods to black at some point. I like having the white on the frame itself though.
