A) Occupation
B) Commuting Distance
C) When at work I a) shower b) change clothes/clean up c) don't change clothes and hope for the best/clean up
D) Where bike is parked
E) Number of years commuting
F) Year-round/part time commuter
A)Electronics Electrical Maintenance Technician
B)~7 miles (full, when working day shift), ~2 miles (partial, when working nights or midnights)
C)None of the above. I change into my work uniform w/o any kind of cleanup (my job, at a steel mill, is dirtier). When the shift is over I change back into the street clothes, commute home, and shower there. I suppose if I got extremely dirty at work I would shower there first instead of waiting until I got home, but that hasn't happened yet. Also if I was extremely sweaty when arriving at work I may towel off a bit first (probably just my face). I don't sweat a whole lot.
D)In a small entrance building connected to the locker room via an underground tunnel
E)First year doing it regularly (did it but once last year)
F)Yet to be determined... but my goal is to bike as much as possible. I've come to hate driving.
