First time riding with shorts, and I’m riding with clipped pedals. I don’t feel like I’m touching the crank at all. I’ve been riding all day and I have had to hop in the washroom and clean off twice. I may be just tired and can’t think clearly enough to figure out why exactly this is happening

Start waxing your chain maybe, after that your whole drivetrain just stays clean.
Just part of it 😭 or wax your chain. Either works
What kind of lube are you using? Like everyone’s said, chain will make for a cleaner drivetrain but there’s plenty of daylight between that and beef suet or whatever it is you’re using.
Do you wipe the oil off your chain after you apply it? Oil only does anything inside the chain. Oil on the outside of the chain just attracts dirt. Also, regular WD40 is solvent / degreaser / rust dissolver – it is not a lubricant. WD40 does make a chain lube (it says “chain lube” on the container).
