My favorite winter lube is a new chain in spring.

I've found no matter what I use, I get rusty gummy stuff all over, and after riding home in the winter, with no garden hose hooked up, the last thing I'm doing is cleaning my bike.

Last year I injured my knee and my commuter sat in the garage for a couple months. When I went to put the new chain on, I had to smash the old one off the chain ring and rear cog with a hammer because it was so rusted on. The thing stood up by itself!
