One thing that puzzles me a lot is that : People are afraid to get their bicycle wet by riding in the rain or snow but they have no problem in driving their $ 30 000 SUV through rain, snow and sleet. Or driving through a car wash few times a week. Why is that ? Do you really think that rain will do more damage to your bike then it does to your car ? Get real. Fixing a rusted panel on a car or removing some part seized by corrossion far more expensive then lubing you bicycle chain.
