    Given how quick lycra and clothing with lycra in it drys aren't you just using unnecessary electricity (money). All my cycle clothing drys in about the same time. I air dry everything.

    Bibs are brilliant. I love them. However, if I'm out of an evening, I often wear bibshorts under a dress, which makes going to the loo a long and annoying process!

    Personally I think bibs are more fun than they are billiant. They also look superhero silly. Still I like the support it gives my bum...

    These are cycle specific clothing, one is a long sleeved thermal top from George and the other is a pair of combat style lightish fabric trousers. I'd never dream of putting the lycra in the tumble drier, but as we have a nigh on constant supply of wet clothing in an effort to keep on top of the mountain of washing, the tumble dyer is on most evenings so I just sling em in then!

    Also there's nothing quite like warm cycle shorts on a cold morning :shock:

    Sara, the not wearing underwear thing is to do with comfort - pants have seams in places that chafe bits, and while it's probably fine on a short commute, you don't want to go on longer rides with them!

    mmmm thinks :idea:

    Is there a gap in the market for spray on underwear.... :?:

    Aerosol?! Would be a little on the chilly side wouldn't it! :P

    Dehumifier sorts out wet clothes if it rains or washing. Uses about as much juice as a big TV I suppose (550W on full-pelt) - stick it on a timer for 4hrs. Gets stuff really really dry, pretty quick :)

    lost_in_thought - why do you wear bibshorts uner dresses, any particular reason?!

    Aha, was wondering if anyone local to me used this 'ere site - Seen quite a few people commuting lately, but hardly anyone uses my particular route for some reason, so no real chance to play SCR :cry:

    When I'm out on the town, want to look nice, and plan to cycle home! Means I don't have to carry too much stuff with me, cycling in a dress without shorts underneath is a tad, erm, flamboyant, rather like going out drinking in a set of bibshorts!
