Bike cleaning
24 Replies
After this week, my bike's really a mess. I just found the brake mechanism sticking and the whole bike looks and feels kinda grungy. I know I should do better, but it's very hard to find the time…Continue

I currently carry my laptop in a messenger bag, but I'd like to get the weight off my back and onto the bike. Looking around online, the two panniers that caught my eye are the Jandd laptop pannier…Continue

David Barish replied to David's discussion 'Bike cleaning'"I have not ridden since last week when we had the major rain storm. I got home late in the evening and put the bike on the rack so it could drip dry. Life got busy and I did not look at it for a couple days. The bike was pretty…"
"lol @Lisa.
Here is another vote for a bucket of warm water, some brushes, and a citrus-based spray cleaner. A spray bottle with clean, warm water helps get into tight spots."

My bike is a mess. And I plan on a better cleaning this weekend, opposed to my typical nightly wipe down from the snow/slush. "
David replied to David's discussion '175 W. Jackson, 70 W. Madison'"Thanks everybody for the info, I really appreciate it. It sounds like my options are at least reasonable at all locations, so I'm pretty happy about that. But I'll admit those free showers at 444 Michigan sound very…"

Madison has a secured (key card access) bike parking room at street level (accessible from the alley I think).

Jackson and yes, you can park your bike, on a first come, first serve basis in the loading dock area from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday thru Friday, free of charge, if you work in the building. My hours were sometimes later than that,…"
Tony Adams 6.6 mi replied to David's discussion '175 W. Jackson, 70 W. Madison'"I worked at 444 N. Michigan a couple of years ago. At the time they had two bike rooms, both fairly narrow and deep. The are not wide enough to allow bikes to park sideways in them so people had to store bikes lengthwise in them, which limited the…"

I work at the 175 W Jackson building and I ride year round. The indoor parking for Winter is great; very few bikes and plenty of spaces to put your bike. Spring/Summer, gets very crowded and I've opted to lock up outside the…"
David posted a discussion175 W. Jackson, 70 W. Madison
I'm going to change jobs before the end of the year, and two of the leading possibilities are at 175 W. Jackson and 70 W. Madison. I was wondering if anybody here had any direct experience with or knowledge of the bike parking situation in either building. I've been told that 175 Jackson has indoor parking near the loading dock, which sounds relatively secure, but I don't really have a sense of how things go during the summer. And I really don't want to have to park a bike on the street…See More
