I have a front loader and dryer. I run all our cycling shorts, socks, gloves, shirts thru with other soft items (towels t shirts etc) on a gentle setting and then toss the lot in the dryer. Everything has held up well with minimal wear. Much prefer shorts only, they felt funny with u/w. I didn't know at first either.
also I have some cheap and some more $ shorts. I reserve the $ ones for the longest rides and use the others for the daily workout type rides which can mean a few washings a week.
now my tri suit i may treat differently, but I also have yet to use it....
