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.
Most workplaces should be outfitted to handle cyclist commuters, with access to a shower.
I don't find I need to shower in the mornings, unless it was a really warm morning and I worked up a major sweat, but I'm only riding about 6km either way (I shower at home before I leave).
I keep a towel around at work anyway, because I still usually wet my hair/wash my face.
Changing once in the morning, and once in the afternoon isn't that big a deal.
