A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Yeah plus most jobs don't like you showing up dripping and smelling like a varsity locker room.

My locale even tried to build in employee showers to encourage bike commuting, but it hits 110⁰F outside and there's not a cloud in the sky, like LOL dudes you gotta be kidding.

I'd love to live in a place where the humble bicycle was viable beyond recreation.

I can recommend a cooling west for these cases. They are quite effective on the bicycle (moving air enhances the effect). I usually don't care much about a little bit of sweat, I just turn the ventilation on max then at my office. We even have a shower, but never used it... I think sweat is overrated and often an excuse to not cycle...
