I regard cycling as an activity to be done dressed in shabby cast off everyday clothing, just like DIY, car maintenance, and general messing around in the garden or out in the shed sort of stuff. So I just keep all the stuff that has become too faded and dog-eared for going out anywhere in, and use it for messing about, including cycling. I don't wear any lycra and nothing with padding. The only padded cycling items I have are the saddles on my bikes. I've even got several old pairs of work trousers and jeans that have become frayed at the hem because of wearing over boots, and I just cut these down above the knee and use them as shorts until they eventually fall apart and get ripped up as rags. No doubt I look like a tramp half the time, but I really don't give a toss.
All my stuff gets chucked in the washing machine together on a hot wash, I don't bugger around with different laundry regimes, apart from separating new stuff in strong colours that might run at first.
