put bike shorts in dryer?

I can't imagine too much soaking is a problem, unless you leave them so long they grow mold.

Fabric hint fo the day: the newest, coolest water proof breathable is called EPIC and it is really neat stuff. It's actually an impregnated cotton, not a membrane or anything else. I don't think it's trickling down to cycle wear yet, but it's certainly hit the technical ( climbing etc) lineup for this year.

Tide's pretty harsh. Stick your hand into the powder sometime and feel it burn your skin.

I wrote this, and I'd like to clarify. Most laundry detergents are like this, I've tried it with Costco brand, Arm and Hammer. The chemicals have to be strong to do their job cleaning! Some members of my family are super sensitive to them.
