In the past we've read of this product being used on bikes for
cleaning and degreasing, but we've had no access to it in the UK.

Now we have a UK online supplier http://www.simplegreen.co.uk/
showing two products
Simple Green All Purpose Cleaner and Crystal Simple Green

My question is which of these do you use

Simple Simple Green 🙂 (don't need no steenkin' crystals)

bike cleaning and degreasing than the proprietary products

Nah, but just as good.

Well I heartily subscribe to "The Critical Mass MethodT" of bike cleaning -
just ride, and when the dirt reaches a certain mass, it just sorta, falls
off.

some guys have claimed.

I use Simple Green as a degreaser (chains, chainrings, cogs). Don't use it
overall to wash your bike - use car wash detergent instead. Wash it off
with water, as it will, over time, discolor aluminum and cause corrosion.
