How often do you wash your bike shorts?

[Anonymous]

I have gotten into cycling and onley have 1 pair of cycling shorts that I onley wash about 1 time a month because I cycle 7 days a week and don’t have time to wash them but I do rinse them out in the shower after every use and use a tide pen as well how often do you wash your bike shorts

For my mountain biking shorts, I have a few pairs but also padded inners.

i can get away with a weekly wash or so of the shorts, but I was the inners after every ride.

I have stood under a bike cleaning shower before to get sorta clean.

A lot of the tracks I use over winter and early spring months are totally muddy and everything from glasses or goggles downwards gets covered in mud and crap.

getting decent inners works for hygiene but also comfort.

Yeah I ride on the road and gravel and I have 1 pair of bike shorts that are Lycra and have a padded saddle

Altura do inners
You really want to avoid getting any sweat build up on your clothing, you can get rashes or even fungal issues.

Probably once a month.

Typically, 2 times a week, unless they get incredibly muddy from trails!

No matter how muddy or smelly mine get they just get a rinse in the shower
