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

Same here.

When the straps get hard to bend I wash them and usually wash the foam at the same time.

I set it in the yard, sit down, finish my 3rd brew and piss in it - hasn't smelled like sweat - er - ever since I started this.
