Finally, an automatic bike wash. Seems like a good idea, especially for travelers. Hopefully, it uses low PSI, so water isn't forced into places it doesn't belong.

Looks cool, but bikes aren't exactly waterproof.

I don't relish the thought of high PSI hot water being blasted into my bikes most sensitive bits.

I'm going to the MotoGP races in Indy this weekend. If I don't get a chance to shower, I might pay for a wash and stay on the bike with my full face. Hell, I might even spring for the hot carnuba! This counts as bathing, right?
