A) Occupation
IT worker at a big telecommunications company.
B) Commuting Distance
10 miles each 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
I don't do anything. I choose clothes that are suitable for cycling and office work. Yes, they exist. Wool dress trousers are surprisingly good for cycling in the winter. Linen trousers in the summer. There is a shower down the hall from me if I should need it, but I haven't yet. I also have a private office with a door, so I can change if I want. In case I get drenched, I keep a spare set of clothes in my office.
D) Where bike is parked
In my office!
E) Number of years commuting
I've been doing it on and off for a year now. I used to do it every day, many years ago, but since moving to the suburbs, my commute distances have been very long. I just got lucky and now work relatively close to home.
F) Year-round/part time commuter
My new goal is to do it every Tuesday and Thursday. As the weather gets warmer, I hope to increase that, but I don't have a specific goal.
