When spores strike your bike! Back in November 2024 I conducted my favourite beginner's seminar at Herne Hill Velodrome called Bare Minimum Bike Maintenance. One of the audience members asked me a question that stumped me. She said, "I store my bike in a shed outside. What do you do when your handlebars get mouldy?"
I have a brown leather saddle in the garage that has been growing some funky green mould for the past year or two.. I was going to keep it growing as a scientific experiment, but now you’ve given some sound tips to restore it to its functional self I *suppose* I’d better get on with it. Alexander Fleming - please look the other way.
Oooh give it a go! Try experimenting w different substances on diff parts of the saddle. And don’t forget underneath ! I did and now the mould is back on the undercarriage 🤦🏻♀️ Report back 🙏
