So I walked in today a bit damp from my ride, only to be looked upon with disgust from my colleagues. I'm sure it was purely instinctual and only a visceral reaction to seeing all that sweat. Nothing personal. Well, maybe for one of them it was personal. Anyway, seems like the mornings are getting too warm for me to continue coming in fresh from my ride without a shower. I've begun to investigate where I might be able to grab a shower before coming to the office, so I can continue to ride my bike to work. But at least for the next hour that I'm in the office, I hope my co-workers can be tolerant of my glow. It could be worse. At least I don't swim to work.
Just to clarify, I do shower. Right before I get on the bike. But it was like 80 this morning and it's about 8 miles and there are a lot of hills, and the environment, and gas, and wars, and carbon footprint, and, and...
*sniff*
I smell like a gorilla marketer.

baby wipes?
at least you don't LOOK like a gorilla :)
From one bike commuter to another, the baby wipes do work to tone down the stench of sweat and self-righteousness, though there is nothing quite like the sensation of continuing to sweat for a full forty-five minutes after you lock your bike.
This is not especially helpful, I imagine, but there are showers in the Stuckeman Family Building on Park Ave., or the Intramural Building, which is only slightly father away.
