I've always liked the idea of biking to work, but I know I'd be a sweaty pig after riding for a measly 10 minutes. The idea of having to change multiple times a day doesn't appeal to me, and it seems like most work environments wouldn't have shower access.
Don't know if I could do it without shower access. Some people can clean up ok in a washroom, I'm not one of them. I did survive a week of shower renovations once by showering before I rode and just towelling off when I got there.

I never ride in my work clothes (I'm 14km away from work, I suspect I'd wear through a pair of khakis in about a week doing that). I roll them up in my backpack and I look ok when I get here.
