Cleaning dog pooh off tyres
Hundescheiße
What's the best way to completely clean it out of the tyre treads? (bike kept indoors)
A regular task, and I've tried:
(1) Ride on wet lawn or wet road.
(2) Dry toothbrush.
(3) Wet toothbrush (favourite method).
(4) Matchstick.
(5) Twig.
(6) Washing up brush with bucket of hot water (see bucket, left).
(7) Jet hose, then wash bike down completely.
(9) Toilet paper.

Tomato ketchup.
I kid you not. This stuff is brilliant for removing the smell and grease of doggy do do. My mum and dad used to live in Maine in America, and they used this to even get off the stink of skunk after the dog got sprayed, and when the dog found a dead for ever deer and rolled in it, it worked for this too.
Use a good car shampoo, and with a srubbing brush apply with a good squirt of tomato ketchup. Leaves it all squeaky clean and smell free.
Make sure you rinse off well.

No matter how much I watch the road, I often find the stuff on my tyres, caked into the tread. I don't see why I should have to wet the whole bike each time though. The wet toothbrush is my chosen method, but even then, the muck can flick obstinately back onto your arm and elsewhere on the bike, so this is not the perfect solution. Why is it so incredibly sticky?
I will try the ketchup method next time (tomorrow, probably, and the day after that, Daddies Sauce).

Now there's a funny thing, I'll bet your wife says the same thing about your toothbrush and guess which knife she makes your sandwiches with ?

A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
