+1 here.

I work in an office setting with 4 other people. These 4 other people are all archaeologists with plenty of field time under their belt, so they aren't adverse to a bit of sweat or dirt (I'm a geologist). All of us go out for a 1/2 hr walk/run around the nearby park during the day also. I do my ride or run and simply change clothes.
