[Fool]

I've sent this sort of thing in the hands of blokes in the UK in the carparks of their trail centres -- looking for a portable bike wash with a tank. Living in an apartment in a city, I get frowned upon by everyone from the building porter to the missues when I am sashaying through the lobby with a dirty bike on my way up the elevator into my apartment to hang said filthy bike on the wall.

Anyone using one stateside? Pressure washer an option?

A pressure washer would be hell on bearings...

Hand pressurized sprayer full of water? Like for gardening? Soft brush to knock off most of the dirt?

Yeah, I am full of bad ideas. Definitely don't need something with enough power to blast me off the ground if I pointed it down.

Garden sprayer is a good, cheap option!

This can work pretty well, plus it's never going to screw up bearings. Good brushes that can reach all the parts is the important part. The tires are the hardest part. A stiffer brush helps and the wetter the environment, the better. Best time to wash a bike is when it's raining.

Make friends with the maintenance people and get them to show you their hose.

Garden sprayer FTW!

I use mine for all sorts of crap, beach days, MTB trips, keeping the blade cool cutting cement, fire extinguisher, cleaning dirt off PVC sprinkler pipes, washing my hands while the water is shut off for plumbing, etc.

Just make sure you have a dedicated "Water Only" sprayer, assuming you use herbicides, you don't want that shit all over everything.
