lol you know you could have just actually edited that text right? but I understood anyway. you're right about the temp swings. nice thing about warm temps, mean fewer clothes & shoes! I do have a gym membership really close & I use it when I do a half commute when I leave a car at the office. but I'm not likely to bike to the gym only to bike to the office after the shower. in a car yes, but not back on the bike. be nice if it was right next door tho. I can rig a locker box in my private office with enough pants socks shirts shoes underwear, toiletries & small towel etc for the week. so the things I'd be transporting back & forth every day would be minimal, probably just fresh cycling shorts & shirt for the ride home. I'd re-use the socks but the top & bottom would go in a plastic bag for washing at night. I can walk for lunch & snacks but I would likely carry some edibles too
oh drats! just checked the forecast
