Wait? Jeans need cleaning?!
Ok, I do clean my bike but not after every ride. But it looks clean (most of the time) because the bar tape doesn't look dirty ever, and to me, that's pretty sweet. I also don't clean my car every time I drive it and it looks dirty from time to time. If I could find a car that looked as good as my bike... Oh, that's another subject.
And btw, colored bar tape is awesome! I just don't get white, that's me point. But we've sufficiently hammered this one to death, and I apologize for carrying the thread down this rabbit hole.
