    Garden Hose Use in the Winter

    Hi GJ. I like to keep my rides clean and was wondering if there was any risk of using the garden hose during the Winter when it's above freezing? This is my first house, which I'm actually renting, so even more reason not to risk any catastrophic damage. I have a spigot outside and as far as...
