I don't dry mine because my hubby is notorious for putting my clothes in the dryer on high. It's not only bad for my bike shorts (I believe), but for everything else I wear, too.
It's also bad for the environment and for your wallet!
I use a clotheshorse to dry my cycling gear and it works well.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
