I am very well received. People are always amazed how far I go, even though it is a meager distance to me.

I used to bring my bike inside but I am fine locking it up out front. The receptionist keeps her eye on it, we are at the end of an industrial cul-de-sac and I think a commuter bike with kid seat is a good image.

I can park inside I just choose not to. I do park my commuter inside sometimes and always my race bike. So it is not an issue.


I have an excellent shower set up. It is a decent size room with two shower heads. I set up a curtain rod on one end to hang clothes and gear. I have a Tupperware tote of undergarments, extra soap and towels. I hung a few hooks for my shoe covers and panniers to dry. It is nearly ideal in my mind.

The were a few other commuters over the years who have come and gone.
