I definitely use a few towels in the summer. The problem with a dehumidifier is getting rid of the humidity it’s getting rid of.
One vegan on a group ride, people were warned not to follow too close to him. It wasn’t his sweat that stunk… Eww…

Haha, your experience mirrors my own with some of my vegan friends.
I mean…
there are stuff that goes inside the bib that are not sanitized…
washing after every use is not optional IMO…
I put them out in the garage to dry up… and as soon as I run out of gear i wash them up…
Usually i run out or running shorts before anything else…so… thats that…

Someone said ‘He thinks his poop doesn’t stink, but we aren’t sure. Try to stay upwind!.’ He took the teasing well though. Once, we rode past a farm, and everyone was looking at him! 
He wasn’t quite so understanding when we got downwind. ‘NEED A WIPE?’‘HOLY CRAP DUDE!’
2-4 thick towels under the bike, one on the bars, and something on the top tube then wash them immediately after training.
I thought hot water on fancy sports fabrics was a big no-no?
Assuming USA, you should definitely talk to an estate planner. Medicare/medicaid can and will swindle you out of your inheritance without careful asset structuring.

I did that in the heat of the summer, and flooded two ‘bath sheets’. I left them on the bike mat, and they got glued down by the sweat. Yuck. I must sweat a lot more than other people. I’ve flooded the Tacx towels in an hour ride. It’s a challenge sometimes… Yeah, I do use towels at times. I’m embarrassed at how much I sweat at spin classes, so got my own pain cave setup. Ride on!
Thanks…
I am honestly amazed how many of us change bibs/jerseys for each ride. I don’t have a washing machine in my flat, it’s a shared one in the basement.
On average I ride mine for one week (4-5 sessions). I have only two bibs, because I don’t have time to buy new ones.
In the summer no jersey or shirt. During winter normal cotton T-Shirt.
Time? Surely money?
You might want to rinse them and dry them on a radiator immediately after the workout.
I think @JoeX mentioned this but for me taking my bib shorts into the shower with me was a game changer years ago
- Noxema or enzos button hole directly on the chamois during ride. Generously. I don’t use chamois cream for friction etc. I use it for hygiene.
- Inside out in the shower
- Ring out, hang dry
I ride 5 days/week and my bibs are always ready.
Apartment living friendly!!
That quick air dryer in gloves and skates before the games, smelly smelly haha
Stop farting all the damn time.
Yeah, this thread changed my mind. I think I will only use them twice from now.
I never wash my bibs, the wife does it for me after each and every ride.
I wouldn’t know where to start! 
At least shower with the bib…
It is fairly common for bikepacking people to use it for a week or so on trips but they normally shower or rinse it on the sink after each day.
I have three sets of cheap bib shorts for my three workouts a week I usually hang them up to dry out before using two of them again if I don’t go out for a ride with good bibs/ longs. On Sunday after the last ride/ workout I throw it all in the wash. It’s a rest day Monday and dries by the Tuesday workout, when it all begins again.
Years ago, I reused a pair of bibs after riding once.
And boy did I pay for it. The epic saddle sores showed up a few days later. OWWWWWWWWWWW
Now they get washed after every use. Period. No questions asked. Even its a 30 minute easy spin.
A hand wash after every workout. A deeper washing machine wash every weekend along with my outdoor kit. Note that I only do this to my indoor bibs and sweat guards, I do my indoor training shirtless.
You made me feel much better. I was reading through the thread thinking I was crazy for wearing my bibs more than once.
I do like you and wear the same bib shorts for the week (5 workouts) and then switch to a new pair. I have 3 good pairs of bibs I like and I’ve never had a problem or smells or anything weird going on.
You should get a Covid test. You do know loss of smell and taste is an important symptom, right?
