Anyone deal with 'sani-moms', those females that require everything appear and smell fresh scrubbed at all times? When Ifirst started bike commuting a few of them complained that I came in 'sweaty and stinky' cause I rode a bike to work (3 miles, one 30ft high rise, I cruise in the whole way) and insisted I had to take a shower before sitting down to work. The boss asked me about it and was OK with me. This kept happening and I finally solved the problem: One of my drive-to-work days I put my bike and kit bag in my truck. When I got to work I took the bike out, wheeled it up to the building and locked it to the bikerack, then proceeded inside with my kitbag (with helmet on top.) As soon as the complaints began the boss asked me about it. I mentioned "No I didn't ride in today. I drove into work with my bike in the back of my truck and didn't want to leave it out in the lot, so locked it in the racks and brought the bag inside for safety." The sani-moms were proven wrong, and now I'm riding with no complaints.
