Cleaning up at Work

Do you truly need a shower after cycling to work? Many bicycle commuters find that a quick sponge bath is all they need to feel refreshed, especially if they ride to work early in the morning. Here are a few tips for freshening up:
  • Allow yourself a few minutes of cool-down time before changing.
  • Keep a towel and washcloth in your desk or locker at work. Sponge off with cold water in the wash-room.
  • Use talcum powder to help absorb moisture and odors.
  • If you truly need a shower, check with your employer or building manager to see what your options are. They may be willing to make arrangements with a local health club, or install a shower themselves when they realize there's a demand.
