Yea I am on the fence about that. Back before the munchkin was born, I was doing the partial commute, stopping at the Y for a shower. And then a quick wipedown at the office.
It worked ok, except.
1. It eats up alot of time. Lock the bike, go in, strip down, shower etc, get dressed again.
2. It requires I carry more. I would have to carry my toiletries as well as a towel (used a camping pack towel).
Since then I have also gone to the self inflicted buzz cut style hair (#2 guard, buzz buzz), which helps too.
