Re: The Cycling Thread
My work place has a shower so I bring a change of clothes with me and then get showered and changed once I get to work.

Re: The Cycling Thread
+1, we have a shower.
There is no way to cycle to work without getting sweaty. If you don't your not trying hard enough to make it a worthwhile workout!!!!

Re: The Cycling Thread
I did used to work many moos agi at a place in Worcester which had no showers etc. One of the guys there had a camping shower. Basically a posh bags with holes in it!!!
Every morning he would get to work, fill it, then have a cold shower in the car park.....all year round!!!! Apparently he did for approx 5 years!!!!

Re: The Cycling Thread
Well, at the risk of totally picture whoring myself out here...
She's finished!!! Ordered the few bits from Wiggle last week and stopped by the shops to get the new saddle sorted: LBS only had the Ti version so was a bit more than I wanted to spend but a quick test ride sold me, definitely a comfy, if perplexingly hard, saddle:  RaceFace stem and bars, stem +10mm, bars -1.0"  Also dropped a few mm on the stem  The finished article, very happy with it:  Definitely got more of a head down XC feel to it now the stem increase seems to have taken the edge off the slightly manic handling while remaining fun and it feels more comfy on the long climbs, found myself resting my forearms on the bars to lean forward more before

Have to say I have the ultimate respect for the roadies with no suspension and comedy rubber band tyres, I locked out the fork and shock for a road climb today and forgot about it, went to bounce up a kerb and almost gave myself a white leather enema!!! Perhaps I should be sticking to bouncy bouncy until I get less forgetful...
