Cool!
A shower at work - even better! As far as errands, I don't know - I'm just sweaty. :)
And of course if you have to drive, it sounds like you have the car to do it in. Practically, we all drive sometimes. (Unfortunately.) On Alan Durning on whether biking is for children and for losers posted 2 years, 4 months ago 26 Responses
What to do about sweat
I can really work up a sweat, too, but here's a few things I've done (my commute to work is about 25 minutes one-way):
- Maybe this is obvious, but take fresh clothes to change into at work. Yes, it can feel strange to change in the bathroom stall, but in a culture that already deems you slightly odd for biking to work, why worry about that?
- Invest in pannier-style bags so you aren't carrying a heavy backpack that makes you sweat even more.
- Shower before you go - a clean body doesn't smell once you get out of your sweaty clothes! And take deodorant with you, too.
- Baby wipes for the sweatiest areas... need I say more?
