Tumble Dryer for Work?

[G2EWS]

In all aspects I am OK as it is my company so I can install what I want!

I had the shower room built a few years ago to bike into work, then didn't! So only started using it three weeks ago.

No one will steal my clothes either

You need one of these http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=pi...0wXm1YDQCw&sqi=2&ved=0CB4QsAQ&biw=800&bih=485. It's no good trying to dry something without getting the excess water out first!!

Years ago i worked at an old folks home. I made full use of their washing and drying facilities. Happy days indeed when i was safe in the knowledge that my cycling gear was always washed and dried ready for my journey home. Though on one or two occasions i had to reprimand some care assistant for trying to iron my lycra!!!

I rely on waterproofs and spare socks. Also a hand towel in my locker to dry my head.

Ha ha, very good Accy!

So what waterproof jacket do you wear Billy?

Mine was definitely not waterproof as advertised.

It just cannot get cheaper and simpler than this:

Off to pick one up along with a towel rail.

Easy peasy, job done!

Thanks for all your thoughts and advice.

I used to combine my work with exercise as well. There was one woman weighing i'd say about 20 stone who i'd push 2 miles uphill in a wheelchair every week to see her old house. The care workers had the cheek to call me lazy! stating that i was skiving out of "proper work", like sewing buttons on and making beds!!

I used an old mini fan heater (£3 car boot sale) like THIS .. hang clothes up, switch on and for an hour or so.. worked a treat.

 

[G2EWS]

Right, I have bought the heater which is now timed to come on at 06:00 so it will be warm when I get in the shower and off at 16:00 so my clothes and hopefully the towels will be dry.

The free standing clothes airer is too big and clumsy, so I will get one for the wall.

We have a thing called a spinner just spins the clothes round takes most the water out then hang them up to dry

I have a few Chris. My best one is an Altura which is waterproof and breathable. Another is a generic one from a camping shop which is good for a heavy downpour but not very breathable. Also got a Sprayway which is good.

Hi Billy,

Thanks for your response.

There seems to be a number of Altura jackets on the Wiggle website. Do you know which one you have?

I am wondering if mine is leaking and according to the spec it should be waterproof and breathable

Then perhaps I should send it back and replace it with an Altura.

This seems like a good one:

I might have mentioned it before , but i have this one http://www.wiggle.co.uk/altura-night-vision-evo-waterproof-cycling-jacket/ and for me it's very good! I'd say that 95% of the water that hits you doesn't get through, and it isn't a boil in the bag one either. I paid 63 quid for it at a local bike shop so the nearly 90 quid is a bit steep but maybe they think they can charge that as they're so popular.

Hmm!

Wonder what you mean by that then.

Thanks for that, it appears to be the same one I highlighted to Billy above.
