    Good idea, even when giving my bike a good clean but not a total strip down there's always plenty of grease etc hidden away.

    That said its not for me.

    To be fair though - it's not a terrible idea if you do keep your bike indoors and don't wanna clean it every time!

    I keep my bike indoors and might only clean it once a week or two. Not using one of these bike sock things has never caused a problem, the crud and road salt has never magically jumped off the bike (unfortunately).

    I leave my bike in the new office, rather than the non-existent bike sheds, and crap does end up on the new carpet. But it's not my carpet so until they provide secure bike parking, the carpet will just get dirtier.

    I keep my bikes in the kitchen.
    I sometimes clean the bikes, rarely clean my own socks and never clean the kitchen.
    Looking for wife/cleaner not a bike sock. :D

    The dog in one of those photo's looks like he's just waiting for everyone to leave so he can take a wee on the bike sock.

    I can actually see those being useful - I keep my bikes on a wooden floor and put towels underneath to catch any drips. Those look like they'd be neater. Pretty expensive though!!

    I have a sneaking admiration for those people who can design something utterly bellendish that nobody needs yet somehow sell by the trailer load.
