Mine stays in a damp garage with all the rest of my bikes. if it's clean when it goes in then woopdi-do, but I won't polish it specially. I'll drag it out during winter and go for a ride when it suits me, then put it back with road salt on it and sod the consequences. It's a bike - it's not your lover or your child, it's merely a collection of metal, plastic and rubber parts and nothing more. It can be cleaned and tarted up to look good once the urge to sell it kicks in, and that's what I do.

Bikes are built to be ridden for more hours than they are polished.
