    I really wouldnt feel guilty it's your bike you can choose how often you clean it

    You can't win either way.

    I personally love cleaning my bike and and HATE seeing it dirty, but I've lost count of the number of people who look at it and tell me they'd rather ride it than clean it : : I DO ride it, its just that I choose to clean it rather than doing something else.

    Some people enjoy cleaning (and riding) there bikes some dont, we're all different

    I'm lucky (or unlucky) though in that I dont commute to work if I did I'd probably feel differently.

    Once a week at least, some times twice because I just have a thing about a clean bike, sprockets and wheels...

    Even if I know it's going to rain the next day... the sponge comes out... 8-)

    I think it is getting out of the housework that means I clean it more often. 3 bikes in the garage can take a while to do!
    People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.

    Very revealing article in Bike mag about keeping bikes clean, fortunately I don't use mine for a daily commute but even so I'm still Mr OCD when it comes to keeping it spic and span ;D
