Hmm, my bike seems to have gotten caught in a thunderstorm.
Usually I am pretty good about not locking my bike out in the rain. However, today it got caught. Typically after riding in the rain I just dry it off and lube up the chain. Is there any special attention I have to give to it after having been out in the rain this long?

Framesaver maybe, but you don't need really need to worry much. Is it a fixie? You've got a lot less to worry about (moving parts wise) with only a front brake (maybe), pedals, and headset.

Framesaver? That's for people scared that their precious Columbus steel will rust through... one thunderstorm makes no difference. Just clean and lube as usual. Proofide your saddle, if it's a Brooks.
