Grease 🛢️

Grease doesn’t have to mean the presence of an oil pump in your backyard; but it’s sure easy to get a grease mark on your leg while cycling. Or, to get lube all over your hands if you have to put the chain back on the gears. Maybe I put too much lube on that chain!

That’s why I keep Scott Shop Towels handy; both at home and on the bike. I pre-cut some of them, in case I don’t need a whole towel. But I never know when I might need to get rid of some oily marks.

Anti-Grease 🧼

What’s your anti-grease routine? You can use paper towels; old rags; and some soaps work pretty well. But one day, some years ago, I made a fortuitous discovery.

I was out on a Sunday long ride; and stopped to reapply sunblock. There was a greasy mark on my leg; and I saw that the sunblock was doing a good job of removing that mark! I’d had no idea that sunblock makes a good anti-grease formula; but I’m glad I know it now.

Then there’s anti-grease in the kitchen. I’m not vegan; but I do have vegetarian leanings. That’s because I hate cleaning up oily, greasy pots; pans; and dishes! Meatless cooking/eating minimizes this distasteful chore. Plus, I don’t have to try to get the smell of raw meat/poultry off my hands. Maybe sunblock would work for that, too?

ABOUT ME

I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.

I live in New Orleans; and  retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
