Apologies Dave, sometimes even great pieces of work are pressed into service in ways no one really wants.

Must be a steep climb into the laundry room.

If by "laundry room" you mean the stacked washer/dryer between the kitchen and the bathroom.... it is about 10 feet away from the bike, and so bike clothes tend to be brought into my office/bike room to dry.

This is apartment living, at its best. :D

Nice work Matt.

I'm glad the internet doesn't convey odor.

If it wasn't clear. This is for drying after it comes out of the washing machine. I don't put my cycling gear (or any technical fabrics, or wool, etc.) in the dryer. So, that leaves me having to find spots to hang my gear to dry.

I put all of my cycling gear in the dryer. It is only cycling clothing.

But I would not hang any wet clothes on my bike either.

lol, sometimes I do a similar thing. My bikes hang from hooks in the garage. After a ride I'll rinse out my kit to get the sweat out, put them on hangers, and hang the hangers on the bike.

Wet clothes hanging on a steel bike?
Why does that sound like a bad idea to me?

My bet would be Dave's happy you're riding it enough to have to wash your gear. :beer:

And you can put these up in many various places... like the hallway, in closets, doorways, etc.

You should see my sister-in-law's house... you literally have to crawl through their hallway to get to the bathroom on laundry days

I guess I must be the exception. I dry all of my stuff (except any Merino wool stuff) in the dryer and have never had any issues. I even set it on Medium heat because Low takes too long. :eek:
