Left my new bike out in the rain last night. I didn’t know it was going to rain. Just left it all set up. Should I be concerned?

It’ll be fine, dry it off and lube your chain if you haven’t done so in a while.
You need a huge bowl of rice
Straight to jail
Did not melt
You should probably throw it away and get a new one.
Clean it thoroughly and then dry it and line it thoroughly.
time to buy a new bike
It’s totally ok. Just don’t do it too often as it may lead to getting some rust. if u do it accidentally, just wipe the water off the stanchions with a towel and also your saddle so u don’t get your booty wet and put some lube on your chain cuz it probably all came off
Bike Social Services will knock on your door for negligence
Cooked, new bike day coming
Sell it cheap it’s ruined.
Dude, mountain bikes CANNOT GET WET. They should have told you that at the bike shop when you bought it. If they didn’t, you’re entitled to bring it back for a refund
It’s not ruined. Rust is surface buildup. This can easily be cleaned, re-lubed and adjusted. It’s not new, but it’s completely fine.
Calling CPS
I will take it off your hands for free. Most people would charge to remove scrap metal. Not me.
It looks wet
It’s totaled. I’ll take it for free.
Send it.
As long as you didn’t feed it after midnight, you’ll be fine
What are you 5 years old?
amazing
Stop leaving bikes on your car like that you can cut through those cables with scissors if you have a few minutes and seconds if you have a real cutter. The rain won’t be an issue but theft will.
These bikes are mainly intended for indoor use so it was a pretty bad idea to leave it out for the night.
Throw it out
Bikes are made to get wet, they are just not made to stay wet for days at a time.
Busted
It’s a bike. It won’t drown 🤣
That bike is toast. Soggy toast. Better to throw it out. Too dangerous to ride my friend, might bend too hard under load throwing you off. Get a new one /s
You gotta remember these things aren’t made to resist the elements.
Probably the most first world problemz post ever on this sub
