- I have a paper route and use my bike every morning in snow, slush, salty
- roads, etc. Bad conditios. I try to wipe everything off and keep the chain
- from rusting, but it's hard. I would like to get suggestions on what to put
- on the chain during the winter or really cold times, as it dries out quick.
- Currently I just throw on some WD-40, but the guy in the bike shop last
- summer said that was a sin.. (maybe he meant for summer riding, I don't know)
- so he gave me this $5/can "Professional Chain Lubricant". I know I probably
- got taken for a ride, story of my life, right? But anyway, suggestions would
- be welcomed as to my little dilemma here. TIA..
