Thanks for the compliment. I neglected to add that on Mondays I take in a weeks worth of clothes/food on my multi-geared utility bike w/rack and panniers. Warehouse work doesn't require anything beyond a t-shirt/shorts/undies/socks and shoes. I've got a box where everything's kept such as a toothbrush, Goldbond medicated talcum powder, deo, a towel, etc. along w/my clothes. Shoes are sprayed daily w/a disinfectant a/t end of the work day while changing clothes. There's a fridge on site w/plenty of room for food containers. My work space is loaded w/Clif bars...I buy 2 dozen at a time and may eat 2-3 per day. They usually last about 2 weeks before I have to bring in another load.

Then the rest of the week I ride the fg w/a seatpost rack/trunkbag combo. There's just enough room to carry my work clothes and food containers home in the evening. My shoes are left at work.

There's a storage closet on site in which I'm allowed to keep my bike(s), clothes, personal items and change clothes. My commuting mantra is 'Never commute in one's work clothes or work in one's commuting clothes'. The door has a lock on it, so no one will walk in on me at the wrong time.

Again, in addtion to a nice, long commute I appreciate how blessed I am to have the support of my superiors and co-workers. In fact, the big-boss and one of the salesmen are semi-retired 'tri-guys' that are asking me to help them put commuting rigs together as they each only live 6-8 miles away. One of my co-workers is a 'gym-rat' weightlifter and has expressed interest as well. Converting the world one commuter at a time.
