"It's A Clean Machine"

Sometimes you just HAVE to clean your bike. Last weekend, I noticed that my chain was noisy -- a bad sign, particularly with the humidity on the Eastern Shore. So this morning, I grabbed my Pedro's Bio Degreaser and my Finish Line wax chain lubricant and got to work. The truth is, I like cleaning my bike -- it looks better, it rides better, and since it's my favorite possession (OK, I'd put my iPod and my car right up there with my bike), the IF deserves it. I also put on a new seat -- same as the old seat, a Terry Fly, because it's the most comfortable seat I've had.
So tomorrow's ride should be silent and smooth. We're on the western shore this weekend, so no ride report.
