So I'm not, lol, a real bicyclist. But my friend and I ride bikes around our homes for exercise, because we can't afford to swim, jogging is too painful, and we don't have time to hike every day. And we're having fun, and last week even amazed ourselves by riding all the way downtown and back (35 miles round trip, our previous bests were about ten, but it turns out you can go a lot farther when it's not straight up and down the whole way!) But one thing that has been plaguing me since we started the venture is that I am continually getting chain grease on my leg. The stuff doesn't come all the way off, so I have a permanent 'bruise' on the inside of my right leg. Worse, one day last week, it was cool and I wore long pants, and even after washing twice and soaking in oxyclean and dawn, I couldn't get the stain all the way out. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, my friend doesn't have this problem, and nobody around here seems to know what to do, so I'm hoping there is someone out there that has an idea! I did take my bike into the shop a couple weeks ago (had to have the shifters and derailer replaced), and asked the guy if there was anything that could be installed to resolve the issue, but he said it wouldn't be possible to put a chain guard on it because it's a multi-speed bike. Anyway, thank you so much for any help you might be able to offer!
