What else should I be doing?

Thanks - i've looked on google and can't find a straight answer...
The expensive parts on the bike use grease anyway so some rain won't really hurt them. Definitely lube your chain to prevent rusting. Make sure to wipe the rims to get rid of brake grit. Brake grit also goes to the spokes so clean that too. Clean the brake pads for any foreign objects. Lastly if your bike is steel you are SCREWED! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

I'm kidding. Seriously, YOU ARE SCREWED! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
