Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Scotchguard for jerseys

Has anyone tried treating jerseys with 3M Scotchguard to make them easier to clean? It might also work on bar tape.

Are you serious?

The idea of Scotchguard soaking into open, sweaty pores for the sake of vainly trying to keep a jersey clean seems a bit much.

Also, might it not break down the fibres of your jersey?
