    Is a dirty bike an unhealty bike?

    Too much washing will dry out bushings like in the brake and clutch levers, even the cables get moisture in them so its a good idea to lube these bits regularly if your anal about keeping it spotless.Silicone spay is a good practice as it keeps corrosion at bay.Just keep it away from your brakes. ;)
