A new car and smelly cyclists. & new car smell.

It's shiny red and came with a Thule roof rack....Our new car is less than a month old. Still can smell that new car smell.. What do you do about sweat laiden cyclists and new upholestry. Maybe a quick method to rid the car of 'new car smell.' Or don't you care. I hate floppy towels strewn about the car seat and they are probably not effective anyway. Plastic covers over upholestry . Never.

Where you park your car for the bike ride is where you might find a water hose. Bring a large bucket or two. One to wash and one to rinse.

After a hot ride, nothing like being hosed.
