[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would bike more if there wasn't an expectation in my office of not being a sweaty mess.[/quote]
Workplace access to showers would solve this challenge.  [/quote]

Not completely.  I mean, maybe you can stuff a suit in a backpack and have that be acceptable at your office, but not mine.

Maybe a courier that could bring an entire work wardrobe to the office for a week, each weekend?  You'd need some secure storage area at the office.  Plus that would seem to be adding to vehicular use, not lessening it.[/quote]
In order for this to work you would need a wardrobe with a lock at the office. Perhaps also dry clean at the office. Maybe every Monday you bring fresh undies and every Friday you bring them home. The costs and needs rapidly multiply. Maybe this works for some people but it could not work in my office. There is a locker room with tiny lockers which is only enough for shoes and underwear and the office itself is open plan so there is no place to store clean clothes. It wouldn’t be acceptable to stuff wool slacks and a blazer in a backpack because it would be wrinkled and unprofessional when you arrive. [/quote]
