You're not going to find a gym with shower-only privileges. The water bill would be higher than their electricity costs! Just sign up for gold's, pay $60/month and quit being a baby. Or get a job at a company with an on-site gym.

How far are you biking to metro center? There's a facility at union station which could make sense if you're biking a really long way, say from up in MD ending your route down the met branch trail. But not ideal to metro center.

Get an ebike. No showers needed.

Don’t be ignorant. They make gear for this. People ride in the winter.

It is not any enjoyable experience though.
This is coming from someone who used to bike in heavy snowstorms as a kid.

Bike commuter here, but not familiar with that area, sorry. If you don't get an answer here, post in the Washington Area Bike Forum - http://bikearlingtonforum.com/forum.php (note that it's for all of DC, even though URL says Arlington.

Do you have any way to join the National Press Club? It has showers and bike commuters often use it.

Me again was first pp, not the naysayer

PS me again. Please check in here if you find good options. I'm currently working suburbs but would love an ocassional shower options when I go downtown for meetings.

Have fun biking to work when the wind chills are in the single digits or below zero.

I was going to suggest gyms. Did you try hotels around metro center? Sometimes they have pool out workout memberships. I know someone who used to shower at the y in DuPont.

Another thought is to check with some of the leed certified buildings. They get extra points in the leed system if they offer amenities for bikers, I believe.

Welcome to bike commuting! I hope you love it as much as I do!

I'd like to bike to work, but my office (near Metro Center) does not have a shower facility. Any bike commuters have ideas of where I might be able to take a shower? I've not been able to find a gym that has shower-only privileges. Thanks.
