Commuting To Work - No Shower!

[StinkFist]

I'd like to start commuting to work......only problem is my place of work does not have a shower that I can use.

Distance is not far and it's a pretty flat ride so I don't imagine I'll stink up too much.....plus I can take it easy and just spin the ride in and punch it hard on the way home.

I can shave, do teeth etc at home and just use some wet wipes / moisturiser and deodorant that I can leave at work?
I'm not in a suit and tie, but still need to / want to look tidy and presentable.

Any of you lot commute to work and don't have access to a shower??

Tips / Hints / Tricks / Suggestions.

You'll need a place to hang your 'riding clothes' where they can dry and not annoy co-workers, etc.
Keep items such as: shoes, belts, comb, deodorant, etc. at work.
I also always kept an extra change of clean underwear at work - just in case....
I carried my clothing in a water resistant 'stuff sack' with a lightweight backpack,in case of rain.

My commuter bike had full mudguards, reflectors, and bright front & rear light.

Do you have access to a janitors closest? The janitor at my work has a huge sink with a hose hooked to the facet. Its not quite a shower, but works pretty well for a quick wipe down. I don't have hair so that part is easy.

No closet....but I so have a locker to store things in, a lager space / wall to hang riding kit and work shirts on, plus a large space to get changed in and freshen up.

I think wet wipes, moisturiser & deodorant should do the job adequately....along with a full clothing change at work.
