Bike Cleaning
When it comes to cleaning your bike, you want to make sure you keep on top of it. If you are cycling on dry pavements mostly, once a week should be fine. If you are more of an adventurous cyclist, who cycles a mountain bike or gravel bike across muddy terrain, it is recommended to clean it after every journey.
