Chain Grease on My Right Leg

[OakLeaf]

What are you doing when it happens? stopped with your right foot down? try leaning the bike more to the right?

I assumed that was normal, in fact, if my leg is ever really clean of grease I know I haven't been riding enough.

Chain ring grease is easier to wash off from your leg than it is from your clothes.

I totally agree with the above.

I use Simple Green and a rough cloth to wipe off the grease.

Team Estrogen Members: Let me know what is safe to use on clothes. I don't know if I am supposed to be using the Simple Green on my clothes or not also?

I clean grease, sunscreen, road grime, gnats, etc. off my legs with Wet Ones. I keep them in my bike bag along with my other gear. I also keep them nearby when I'm cleaning the bike and lubing the chain, so I can clean my hands right away before I get up and touch a light switch or cabinet handle or whatever. They work great to get grease off your skin.

For clothes, I don't know, I just try to pre-treat with regular laundry detergent.

I used Dawn and/or Simple Green spot treatments, works fine for me.

I prefer olive oil when it's my skin.
