I have 5 pairs total right now in the rotation.

I wash my bicycle clothes separately from my other laundry and don’t use fabric softener. I machine wash and dry all of them after each ride, however. I have roughly 20 pairs of shorts in rotation (some nearly 20 years old), 6 or 7 tights, and probably about 40 jerseys. Frankly, bicycle clothes are a whole lot tougher than most anything else you wear and don’t need to be treated like lingerie.
