Wow, I had no idea this thread would blow up so much. It has been interesting to see all the different responses.

However, it would seem that I am not the only target of this employee's rantings. While I have been away from work it seems that her and another supervisor got into it over something regarding the location of the woman's cube. Well long story short (heard through the office grapevine) was that the woman was so upset that she ran the supervisor down with her scooter. Needless to say the source of my problem no longer works here.

Regardless, I did a little more research with my HR department. The wording excludes attire worn to and from the office as part of the dress code. So I am free to wear my biking clothes to and from the office. According to the dress code I am required to be in appropriate attire while on the clock, but anytime before or after that I am allowed to wear anything as long as it is within reason and in good taste.

**C.V.** Riding to work in the bib shorts and jersey is a personal preference because of my commute. I find it to be more comfortable for my individual needs. I dont find that my biking clothes get very nasty or stinky as I guess I have pretty good hygiene habits. Although your comment about the nasty and stinky comment sounded just like the woman that made the complaint. It was still funny because of the font and the emoticons after it and had me ROFL. I thought of a 12 y.o. girl saying the sentence the way you wrote it...LOL
