I really don't want to ride all the way to the RecSports area for a shower, so I've been making do with a change of shirt and a new stripe of anti-perspirant. I've seen "Baby wipes" in this thread. Anybody else have a good clean-up solution?

My problem is keeping the smell from the drying clothes down. The jersey isn't that bad, but the cycling shoes, gloves and helmet start to get a little ripe sometimes. Then I'll wash the gloves, clean the helmet pads and straps and even soak the shoes in a mild bleach solution. I think it's about time to replace my cork handlebar tape too as the bike lives right by my desk during the day.
I've got a good friend that works doing some kind of computer work at one of the depts. He's actually the one that got me into bike commuting. Here's a link to his website https://128.83.80.200/bike/index.html

1) You spilled soup down your front and need to shower in your clothes to clean up.
2) The Immodium AD just didn't do the trick and, well, I just don't think I should talk about this.
3) Your best friend vomited on you as you were carrying him home from a party this morning.
4) The new frat member you helped haze left blood stains that need serious attention.
5) You just feel like a shower, now and then.
Makes sense, like I said.
