If that were the case, I'd be dead long ago with all the rain I've ridden in over the years.

I like to cool-down and mellow-out after a ride.
I like to wait for the sweating to stop, and have
some water and fresh fruit. I DO have to get out
of my riding gear immediately, though. I throw
them into the shower and wash them with myself
and hang them to dry, that way I always have clean
shorts/bibs and jersey ready to roll.

I'd pay good money to see racehorses riding bikes before going for a swim.

Athletes in gyms the world over have been hitting the shower right after a workout for longer than we know.
I don't think I've ever heard a mother tell her kid to hold off on a shower before...

Getting into a shower that's too hot when you're sick is a different matter, then it could be bad.
Otherwise, I don't see how it could be bad unless you come into freezing cold water from an incredibly hot ride.

ahhh, the younger crowd now has much free time for a few months.
one of the absolute best parts of a ride in hot weather is the immediate post ride cold shower, my muscles just relax and i feel great. also a hot shower after a freezing winter ride... AAAHH HMMMMM, does wonders for getting feeling and circulation back.

Can't express how wonderful it is to get into a hot shower after riding for a couple of hours in 15-20 degree weather in the NE. Feels oh so wonderful.

There is a possibility that your muscles could inflammate if you did a crazy extreme ride.

I think this came from ancient Eastern culture, cold water bad on hot body, but back then they didn't have hot water on demand.
Look Mum doesn't say DON'T BATHE, she just says cool down a little first. U luv ur Mommy don't you?

Diving into a shower is a bad move. You could break your neck. Always look before you leap.
