We want the funk
You can smell it when you can smell it. It's in every cyclist's cupboard.
There's simply no way to cycle over 5 miles in this DC summer without ending up smelling like something which just crawled out of the local brackish pond replete with rotting vegetation.
While I'm fortunate enough to have a gym across the road from work such that I can shower after cycling in, there remains the question of what to do with the funk. I place all my clothes in a plastic bag, seal it, and lock it in a drawer until the cycle ride home (ew) but after a couple of months of cycling 100m+ per week my office retains a certain, how you say, odeur.
While this is brilliant for minimising time people want to spend in my office during meetings, I'm wondering if there may be a better way to control the Empire of Bacteria in my lower office drawer. As a secondary brain teaser, I'm wondering if there's a way to dry my stuff out without paralysing the entire office space with Eau du Smythe.
Answers on a postcard please!

How about you just leave your clothes dangling on your bike in the garage (is that where you lock up your bike?) to aerate? Like an aluminum tubed clothes-line.
