The dryer won't run because it's not plugged in but it has to be on. In about an hour the bike will be just about the same temperature as the air in the house. The earlier in the week you do this the better. Towards the end of the week it does not work as good. When you are done reconnect the wires and plug the dryer back in. You can limit wear on the bike by hooking the wires up the other way the next time to even things out.
I'm surprised that you didn't suggest a small nuclear reactor.
