INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Lay a mat or old sheet down on the ground to protect the seat and bars from dirt and scuff marks if you've turned it upside down. Make sure you are in an open, well-ventilated area that can get wet without ruining anything. You don't want to blast any of the dirt away, you simply want to wet the bike and remove and loose dirt and grime before you start scrubbing. Never use a high-pressure hose or nozzle setting. This can force water into your components, causing internal rusting or de-lubricating important junctions. If you desire, you can also add a bike specific cleaner, but avoid using ordinary dish soap as it typically contains salt which can corrode parts of the bike, including the frame. You will want to use a different bucket and sponge than the ones used for your drivetrain. Grease from the chain and cassette will get on your frame if you don't use fresh supplies, ruining your clean-up job. You want to get into those as much as possible and you need to get on the inside of the frame with your sponge. The wheels make it difficult to clean the parts of the bike closest to the ground and tire, which are often the dirtiest areas. The tires, which will become dirty again the second they touch the road, do not need to be cleaned. But the metal rim of the wheel can pick up gunk that gets in the way of your breaks. Use the abrasive side of a sponge to clean off the edges and lightly wipe down each spoke so your bike looks clean and sparkly.   Use a toothbrush to scrub the hub-- the small cylinder in the center of the wheel -- and the nuts and bolts on either side of it. If you want to clean your tires, or you see large chunks of mud in the treads, use a big, heavy bristled brush (like the one sold with a dust pan) to clean them quickly and painlessly. The rear cassette is the collection of gears on the back of the bike. While you cleaned it briefly when you cleaned the drivetrain, you should take the time to make sure it is spotless when doing a full bike cleaning. Drip some soapy water into the cassette, then use a clean rag to "floss" in between each of the gears and remove any extra gunk built up deep in the cassette.

SUMMARY: Rest the bike in a stand, on a rack, against a tree, or upside down. Spray down the bike with a low-pressure hose. Fill up a bucket with warm water. Remove your wheels. Wipe down the rims of your wheels. Use a clean rag to get deep into your rear cassette.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Using the first step in Method 1 of this article is a good reference point for cooing beer quickly. A cool Corona will be necessary for all mixed drinks. Add 1 shot of vodka, 1 teaspoon of grenadine syrup and 1 slice of lime to a 7/8 full bottle of Corona.  Remember that putting your thumb over the top of the beer and slowly turning it upside down a few times is a good way to mix the drink. Be careful: Turning the beer upside down at a fast rate will cause the beer to release carbonation and explode. Try adding these ingredients to a cup or mixer if you have trouble mixing them in a Corona bottle. Add 1 ounce of tequila, 7 - 10 ounces of margarita mix and 8 - 10 ice cubes into a blender. Blend the ingredients into a homogeneous mix. Pour the mix into a 16 ounce (or larger) drinking glass and place an upside-down Corona bottle in the drink. Make sure that the drinking glass' rim is wide enough to support a Corona bottle without tipping over. If the only drinking glasses that you have are small, you can try using a Coronita (a smaller Corona). Whatever you way decide to mix your Corona, it's going to be delicious - it's Corona. Don't forget to add a lime garnish and salt if you haven't already.

SUMMARY:
Cool the Corona. Make a Red Corona. Make a Mexican Bulldog Margarita. Drink your mixed Corona.
