How often do you wash your bike?

How about your chain? How often do you wash your chain and reapply chain lubricant?
 
It depends! If I'm riding regularly, it's going take me at least 1-2 weeks before I would wash my bike.

Also, if it's raining season when everywhere is wet/muddy, I also wash/clean my chain within the same time frame.

Same for me.

In all honesty, I'm not good about washing my bike unless it gets super muddy. But I do keep them inside.

It doesn't make any sense to keep washing them when it's not really dirty. I don't blame those who doesn't ride when it's all rainy and muddy because that's creating extra work of washing regularly.

I would never keep my bike out for any reason whatsoever.
