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!

the only fix is cleaning after every single winter ride. Have a good supply of rags and go to town. I always time my new chain for spring as well.
