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. Though I suspect if you asked her, she'd say, "read the directions."

Hand wash then hang dry. I've got nothing against the washing machine but I like to wash them right after I ride and I'm not going to waste all of that water and energy for just two pieces of laundry.

I throw everything together in the washer doesn't matter what color it is. Our washer has a sportwear cycle that work fantastic, from there into the dryer.... That hand washing thing gets old in a hurry. Been washing this way for over a year now and I can't see any problems.

I don't have the time or patience to hand wash. I do however hang dry my cycling clothing.
