how do you go about it? I want to start riding to work but I wear a suit to work and i don't have shower access.
it's only about 5km away but it's better than taking the subway. I imagine all my sweat would probably be coming from my face only.
anyone do this or have tips? i don't want to be all sweaty when i get to the office.
It's usually a matter of three or four things; The first being the most important, "Work Amenities".
If you have access to a locker or shower at work than everything else is easy. The other three are:
- distance
- intensity
- weather
If you can't shower and only have a bathroom to work with the best thing for your lower distance is to reduce the intensity and wear your work clothes. You can wipe down with some anti-bacterial wipes at work and its pretty much no problem.
If you are concern about sweat, wear a backpack full of clothes, ride in with some cycling friendly attire and change in the bathroom again after wiping with anti-bacterial wipes. If you find after a few commutes you sweat little, just wear the work clothes.
Easy, 5km is a nice leisure ride that you can take your time with.
