If you're anything like us, tips and tricks that speed up cleaning, fixing and maintaining your bike are invaluable because it means you get more time for riding.
There are plenty of ‘bike hacks’ out there, but quite often they involve a Dremel tool, steady hands, and way more DIY confidence than we have. So for those who just want to get back out on their bike without using power tools, here are six of our favorite bike hacks
1. Powdered laundry detergent for your hands

After you’ve cleaned and lubed your bike, your hands are probably going to be blacker than a coal miner’s lungs. What’s worse, everything you touch will have greasy black fingerprints on it, but no matter how much you scrub there will still be remnants of drivetrain gunk on your hands and under your fingernails.
There is a solution and it comes in the form of powdered laundry detergent. Grab a pinch before you head to the sink after cleaning your drivetrain, and your hands will be sparkly clean. That said, the stuff is hard on your skin, and if you live in a dry climate don’t forget to moisturise.
2. Save that valve cap
3. Ultimate degrease
4. Dollar dollar bill y’all
5. Print ain’t dead (yet)
6. Furniture polish for your frame
