[QUOTE=Wiswell]Since this is the commuting section, I would be curious to know what jobs people are commuting by bike, and the different rituals when arriving at work. So, here the questions:
A) Occupation
Letter Carrier (Mailman) United States Postal Service
B) Commuting Distance
23.5 miles one way
C) When at work I a) shower b) change clothes/clean up c) don't change clothes and hope for the best/clean up
B) Change clothes into my uniform. No shower available
D) Where bike is parked
Sometimes lock it to a safety rail behind the Station, but usually my Supervisor locks in in the Supply Room for me.
E) Number of years commuting
Started riding occasionally last year.
F) Year-round/part time commuter
Trying to work up to at least twice a week. The daily workout of riding in, walking mine and part of another route with mail, then riding home against the wind is a bit tough right now. I'm planning on trying twice a week starting Monday. The alarm going off at 3:00 AM is probably my biggest obstacle to overcome!
