    We wash our cycling gear in the washer on the regular cycle. I do have a machine without an agitator though so it isnt rough on clothes. But we never put them in the dryer. The heat dries out the elasticity in the lycra and destroys the band around the leg opening. And by the way Lisa, I haven't worn those 'bunchy' underware, but just the thought makes me happy I don't.

    Grog, if I really wanted to save money on electricity, I'd stop using my air conditioner. Drying my clothes in a highly energy efficient dryer is a drop in the bucket compared to what it costs trying to stay cool in the summer time. Throwing the bike shorts in with clothes that are going to be dried anyway doesn't cost any more, either.

    But yeah, I respect the sentiment!
