I just cleaned my bike yesterday for the first time in six years. A bucket of soapy for the frame and stuff, and a can of CRC brake and parts cleaner for the chain and sprockets (My chain and rear cassette are only a year old, the rest of the bike hasn't been cleaned in six years). If I wanted to be one of those people who obsesses over keeping stuff flashy and pretty, I'd buy a Corvette or a Harley. But, since I don't like those kinds of things and I don't like cleaning stuff, I ride a bike and hardly ever wash it. Just keeping the chain and rear cassette properly maintained is enough work for me.
