I can shower at work, and do each day I ride. But I hear you on the backwards part...Thought somebody was leaving really ripe stuff in the shower room, until I realized it was me! Found that the quick rinse in the morning before riding allowed me to wear my bike gear a couple of days more before they got ripe (not base layers or shorts, those change every day). May get better after Christmas - Santa is bringing me some Banjo Bros waterproof panniers, so I don't have to use a backpack any more. That will amount to a major sweat reduction, though I don't know if I will ever be able to make the run in to work without showering when I get there.
