It's a commuter. Do nothing on a daily basis other than park it out of the rain as much as possible. I wipe & lube my chain every couple of weeks and clean the grit off the rest of the bike when it bothers me, which is much less than monthly.

For the "wipe the frame everyday" folks, could you explain how wiping a painted or aluminum surface prevents corrosion or any other problems? I don't get it. The places to really wipe, between pivot points, are never wiped and dried. I know drying a wet bike makes it look nice, and that is a good thing, but does it serve any other functional purpose? Thanks.
