Cycle To Work

[cyclops]

I used to commute 6 miles each way, often didn't shower at work even though there was one. really depends on how sweaty you get/how hard you cycle. as others have said, wet wipes, small towel & sink, deoderant, and clean fresh smelling clothes. I'd often shower at home before cycling so I'd only really need to have a sink wash to freshen up.
if you don't have dry bags (alpkit gourdons are great) get one so yr clothes stay dry. I used to take a weeks worth of clothes in on Monday to avoid having to carry much the rest of the week. sometimes takes a bit of planning - you will undoubtably have a day when you arrive at work and have forgotten socks/underwear/shirt etc so just plan and know where yr nearest clothes shop is!!!

i cycle or run the 10 miles to work.
i have showers but used to have to use the sink,
take a flannel soaked in shower gel,use a swimmers absorbant towel.
i keep my shoes and pants at work and take a fresh shirt and undies and socks every day in a bum bag.
when i run to work i ensure that when i get there i have some fluids to down asap or carry a bottle in warm weather.
pace is the key,if your steady enough you wont be as smelly

undoubtedly have a day when you arrive at work and have forgotten.....

Me last week after a run from outside the office. Lucky I had my cash card so I had to toddle off to Asda to buy a shirt and trousers Went the whole day in the office in my "holey" socks because my manky trainers were even worse - great.

or you could just go commando - add a certain frisance (sp?) to the working day. Not that I'd get away with it, the amount of time I leave the toilet forgetting to do up my fly.

I've found a shower at work, and although it's within easy running distance (5miles) it's such a dull run I save myself for the evening. One guy does get by on a 'Teesside shower', but seeing as I work in a fermentation hall which smells of E. coli (not that I notice any more) no-one would notice the smell (another 'perk' is being able to fart quite freely, safe in the knowledge that you'll most likely get away with it...)

I've been cycling commute for almost 30yr now, some places shower and others no.
Most important is to have towel and spare work cloths, wash in the toilet and off you go...

Personally, if the shower was out of order for whatever reason I always preferred the sink to the toilet

I think as long as you are putting on a change of shirt, shorts and socks when you get there, a wipe around the dark corners is quite enough.
People get overly paranoid about personal hygiene it seems to me.
