Well obviously you don't need to wash them on days that you don't wear them :laugh:

Isn't the day you don't wear them the very day you should wash them. After all you won't wash them when wearing them. :whistle:

If you Northerners are as 'ard as you make out and really went 'commando' there'd be no washing at all involved.

I read that and thought, hey heres a lightweight but positive story about why cyclists wear lycra for Telegraph readers.
It is important that its written by a Telegraph insider who is changing her mind/perception so might change a few readers attitudes.

Slightly prurient and silly but no point getting worried about - it is clearly aimed at an audience who aren't cyclists.

Haha, we're tight, what do you expect? :laugh:
I don't see the point in doing lots of small washes when I can do one big wash. Or should I say, wesh :smile:
I hand wash my shorts after each ride if there’s not enough laundry to do a machine wash. Only takes a few minutes.

I know where my towel is
Still wearing my muddy fox padded mountain bike shorts on the commute here, and I go "commando" as it were as well, although I have also fallen back to wearing footy socks now that it has got a bit chillier. :cold:

I do one hot wash a week for the cycling/running gear, but then I also put the sweaty stuff in a quick 30 min wash in the evenings to freshen them up a bit and take advantage of the spin cycle, as they come out drier after a spin cycle and will actually dry overnight (they don't dry properly if I just hang up after a ride, I sweat too much :sweat: )...
