I had heard that WD40 can damage bike parts, although Sheldon seems to think that you can make do with it.

badmother, that's hilarious! Sheldon does have an article on cleaning. I'm gonna do this: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/chains.html#cleaning

Thanks, everybody!

Edit: There's also an article on extending chain life with hub gears or singlespeed bikes.
