I may not go as fast as kokomo but I got it made.
I have my own shower and bathroom, as much closet space as I could ever want, and at times I have as many as 4 bikes at my workplace, indoors of course.
I have big time respect for you guys who just towel off and have to haul everything.
Oh, plus I get to sit here at work on the forums and lastly, I'm gonna take a nice little ride during lunch on an absolutely stunning day!

Well... I have no need for a shower or locker. Don't sweat that much.
We have showers in a neighboring building.
I have my own cube that I store just about anything I want... with my own key to my cabinets.
I start work whenever I want and leave roughly 8 hrs later.
My boss is in Wisconsin.
I can work from home.
My bike is parked in our cafe about 1000 feet from where I am sitting.
I could park it in my cube if I felt like it.
We have a fridge that I can store almost anything I like in. Consequently, I have a pile of food in it and on my desk.
To top it all off I live and work in the Denver Metro Area.
HA!

Just got back from that lunch time ride. Right out my back door is a nice ride along a remote wild and scenic river currently running bank full from the melting mountain snowpack. Now you can hate me more doughboy.

I have oodles of space for gear and bike. My bike sits outside my office door.
But, there are dozens of NON-working showers in this building. It's an old hotel turned office complex. All the old shower rooms are used as storage and none of them have working water. teh suxor!!!

I'm right up there with you. There is a shower here at work and lockers in the bathroom as well. I can keep my bike in my cube and I have a towel, toiletries, shoes and a belt that I leave at work. I usually leave a pair of slacks or two here as well and take them home once a week for cleaning.
I'm one of two regular cycle commuters in a company of almost 200 employees.

I have an full on-site sports facility, bike paths everywhere, and my own large office to use as my personal laundry station. And I can spend days trolling BF without doing a single bit of work.
