Riding in town — except when it rains — won't get your bike as dirty as mountain biking through the woods, so you won't need to clean it as frequently. Every two months, give your bike a big cleaning. Using bike shampoo and a bucket of hot water, wipe down the frame, handlebar, mudguard, etc. It's best to avoid hosing it down as this could damage some of the components. When done, dry your town bike with a dry cloth to prevent any rust. Use the opportunity to check that all the screws and bolts are nice and tight. Sometimes, when riding on uneven or cobblestone streets, your Elops will experience small jolts, and this can cause the bolts to loosen, little by little. As for greasing your chain, do this at the end after you've finished washing your bike.
