    LOL! Can't say I've ever showered with my bike, but I have certainly taken my helmet in with me to wash.

    My other bikes would get too jealous if I showered with one of them…..they all occasionally get loving sponge baths on the patio though living in year round nice weather ftw!

    No showering with my bike. Neither would he do it: he's a neater person than me and most definitely wouldn't consider hauling a dirty bike into home. Glad some folks do it if nothing else is available. I've seen bike wash, even dog wash at the gas service station here in town

    Thanks, Rebecca. I feel warmer, already.

    I actually started by putting the bike in the tub when I got home, then sponging it off, because the tub was the only place I could clean the bike and not worry about getting the floor or, even worse, carpeting, dirty. I then just figured, why not? Jumped in the tub with the bike and turned on the overhead shower. Okay, I didn't make a habit of it, just did it when the bike was a real mess. I'm only a little crazy.
