How to wash a bicycle properly?

To wash a bicycle properly, start by rinsing it with water to remove loose dirt and debris. Use a mild soap or bike-specific cleaner to scrub the frame, wheels, and components with a soft brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a clean towel. Lubricate the chain and moving parts with bike-specific lubricant. Avoid using high-pressure water or harsh chemicals that can damage the bike's finish or components.
