I would definitely be willing to sacrifice a shower for a proper bike/clothing storage space though, considering that I don't work up too mean of a sweat on my ride with proper layering/venting. But you're right, a shower/locker space is quite crucial to the ideal cycle-commuting situation.
@<a href="http://www.bikeforums.net/member.php?u=344" target="_blank">Jim</a> if you don't mind my asking, what kind of work do you do in Kendall? Im curious if other industries have different attitudes towards biking. I was more surprised that a healthcare company was not an advocate for workplace wellness.
I find it nuts that most offices in the Anglosphere don't have kitchens. I noticed this after moving back. The UK is quite poor compared to Germany, Sweden, Denmark with it's offerings. The best ideas come out of discussions at fika!
Space was tight in Stockholm (toughest real estate market I have ever seen) so, we put a standing shower in the far corner of the disabled bathroom and there was a queue post-lunchtime!
