To Wash or To Wipe Your Mountain Bike

Well, to start with; rain pours down frequently this past few weeks and my mind can't resist whether to bike or not. Guess what,i pedal all the way through muddy terrain in the metro. As i headed back home, I can hear my crank and chain screaming "gave me some nice wash down later on". Two different schools of thought came about 1 says "Wash my bike with a hose" and the other says "Hell no! I use is bottled bike wash and wipe it down!”

I kinda flip flop back and forth on this one for rainy reason, you see, I have no hose in my place or near it, so that leads me to use the Bike Wash about 60% of the time. However, I’d much prefer to use a citrus degreaser and a water hose to clean of my bikes.

So I’m curious to know, what other riders do; hose or spray bottle?
