Not as grimy/sticky/stinky as other sweat. Meaning that it may not be that bad just going for the sponge bath.
Agreed. There is just too much press about sweating while cycling. I'm quite sure that regular sweat from an otherwise clean cyclist will stink much less than some of the deodorants people apply.
