I rode for an hour in pouring rain... I'm dry, my cloths have been washed and dried... A day later and my seat is still dripping wet!

I ride a Sun EZ-Rider.

Any suggestions on how to speed up the drying process?
I'm a little concerned that I will have a mold problem.

If the seat pad doesn't come off, then lay the bike down and put some newspaper under it. The excess water will drain.

I ride a Sun EZ Sport and carry a couple of plastic shopping bags with
me for just such occurances. The bags do fit over the foam pad and help to
eliminate the sponging effect.

Why not set up a fan in front of the seat to speed the drying process?
