I use to do it too. I use to live in a studio apartment so small that I had two or sometimes three bikes in my bathroom.

as long as you don't light a bunch of aromatic candles and make sweet sweet love to it afterwards

You better be up for cleaning the tub afterwards, because that is going to leave a ring.

My bike goes in the bathtub pretty much every night lately. Explaining the nasty-ass grease puddles and tire tracks in my tub is awkward.

Off topic but eddie, your avatar is simply creepy.

My lady would kill me.

I might be able to get it done and cleaned up before she gets home once in a while though. :o

I don't have a good solution for getting the bike clean right now. I just wipe it down with a wet paper towel at work, mostly.

Cept, instead of my lady, its my parents,

You're leaving a drivetrain grease ring in the tub?

Is anyone else reminded of the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer is making salad, etc while in the shower?

hilarious. it's nice when you can replay pretty much every episode in your head.

he actually installed a garbage disposal, too. that might be a good idea for all tubs.
