I sweat no matter what, be it 25 degrees in the morning or 100+ in the afternoon. That's what 15+ miles each way of hilly terrain does to you.

I've been able to make use of storage areas to hang my work clothes. Unless it's a truly tiny building there are probably plenty of unseen and rarely used areas to hang clothes. I keep my toiletries and dress shoes in my gym bag, then drive in every weekend (two weekends, lately) to exchange clothes. I'm also fortunate to have a dry cleaner within walking distance of my office.
My office building has separate showers for men and women, so I use the shower every day. Commuting 5 days each week in San Diego

I would love to ride my bike to work, but I know I'd be sweaty and smelling ripe and was wondering how everyone here got around that. I see that most, if not all, have access to a shower which Unfortunately I do not have. I guess commuting to work won't be an option for me.
Alternatively, chill out until you stop sweating. Then wipe down with baby wipes.
In which case, stop complaining about life.

It was 20 degrees on my ride in this morning, which so far has been the coldest morning I've ridden in this fall by about 8 degrees. Finally broke down and wore long pants, but I digress.
Because of the temp and this thread I paid extra attention to how cold my clothes were when I got out of the shower. They were cold when I picked them up and indeed felt a little chilly when I put them on. Less than 15 seconds later, though, they felt as fine a my clothes ever do.
I really think this is a lot of thread for a non-issue.
