• Cycling is a popular family activity, and eco-friendly cleaning alternatives should be considered to protect the health and environment of cyclists and their children. • Cleaning with a rag and water, or even rainfall, can be enough to keep a bike clean. • Extra-greasy chains can be degreased with an eco-friendly cleaner such as Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner or MamaSuds All-Purpose Cleaner. • Citrus solutions can also be used for chain cleaning, with ingredients such as orange peel and lemon juice forming a natural degreaser. • Baking soda paste mixed with water and lemon juice can effectively remove rust.
