Mini washer + spin dryer?

Does anyone have recommendations for a mini clothes washer and a spin dryer?
I had been handwashing jerseys and cycling shorts in the sink, and wringing
them in a towel to dry. This works well enough, but getting more and more
tiresome. I don't have any other delicates so it's a perfect waste to toss
even 3 days worth of stink into the full size washer.

Kneading them to wash isn't a problem, but repeating a few more times for a
good rinse is tiresome.

I like the spin dryers they have at the health club. Spin dries swim trunks
in about 10 seconds.

Any recommendations?

Parachute cord and clothes pin.

I don't know anything about your inquiry specifically but,
regarding hand wash/drip dry, I once ended a first date ride
by washing and hanging her shorts next to mine. Results were
worth every bit of those five minutes!

To be used as swim trunks?!

OTOH, your full size washer on minimum load size with cold water (which
is what you should use for synthetic jerseys and synthetic shorts) does
not use much power.

I wear the sweaty clothes into the shower, wash and rinse on me, remove,
wring, and then hang to dry.

Chuck them in a normal wash. Cycling clothes should not be delicate
in my eyes. If they fall apart, then they weren't up to the job. But
if you insist on touching up your delicates;

Washboard.
Wash tub and dolly.
Mangle.
clothes line and the wind.
the sun.

In fact leaving out articles of clothing in bright sun for 1/2 hour
will kill bacteria if the clothes are dry. I always try to get
cycling shorts out in the sun whenever I can whatever the wash method
employed.

As an update, I happended upon the perfect solution. I asked the same
question to the Mrs, who then wordlessly grabbed them from the secret dark
place and started a load. Bless her soul. They were neatly hung and already
dry the next time I bothered to notice. There is something comforting about
someone who'll clean your dirty jockstraps.

"Delicates"? Come on, that stuff's just overpriced plastic with an
expensively advertised label. They stink because they're plastic
rather than natural fibres.

You could learn not to perspire, I suppose. The best people don't
smell of sweat (or worse, perfumed sprays to cover up their smell)
because they wear cotton and wool which, amazingly, as was known to
your mom before you were born, don't breed stinks.
