My Giro E2 helmet hasn't had it's straps cleaned or it's padding replaced since I bought the thing in 2003. After reading your post I took the time to clean the straps and whack in a fresh set of pads and it's like new again. Still stinks of course but feels a lot better! Thankx Fatty!

After reading your blog, I ran to the laundry room to see if I've missed something all these years. I picked up the lastest biking clothes to come through, and guess what? They smelled like fresh spring breeze. I'd sleep in them and have sweet dreams. So I'll keep it simple: Gone for bike ride? Take a shower and use SOAP. Take all clothes and launder them with SOAP. Then line dry to save the spandex. And yes, you'll need more than one pair of biking clothes, and a drawer just for them. And just so you know...hubby rides about 10,000 miles/year. I know stink! I plug my nose and kiss him hello. The cat hisses when he enters the room. But SOAP is all it takes. OMG! Wash your clothes!...with SOAP! From Scott’s Wife: Use SOAP man!

I have some wonderful SmartWool jerseys that don't stink and stand up pretty well in the washing machine. Why are polyester jerseys and "tech tees" being sold everywhere, while wool can be hard to find? Has capitalism failed us? I’m also all for wool.
