Single Speed on the Cheap

Step 10 Clean up

After all this mucking around with your chain your hands are likely covered in a layer of grease, making you unfit for human contact. This plagued my bicycle filled existence until I discovered the best degreaser, Laundry detergent. Just rub some on your filthy hands and watch the grease melt away. It's amazing.

Baking soda also has this amazing effect. Sprinkle a teaspoon full in your hand and mix with your regular soap when washing and it'll even get the grease under your fingernails.
