I too have a shower at work and consider myself lucky but the carpets on the way to the shower facilites here are light in color and mud road grime etc dripping on them would sent the office manager here into a tizzy!

I push my bike all the way thru the office, past the managers offices, thru the kitchen, into my back cubicle area and put it in the cube next to me, and they haven't complained yet, although I do feel a bit bad about the expanding salt ring on the carpet where my bike stays for the work day. The carpets are pretty thin and a dark blue/gray so I'm not even sure if they would notice the path I take, and I carry it over the kitchen tiles if it's an especially messy day out. And then the shower is back just before the kitchen, but by then I'm peeled out of my outer shell and shoes, so I'm not making a mess any more
