    I have been using Cetaphil on my face for over 20 years. I keep some at school for when I commute. It does work everywhere and you don't have to rinse. I also have tried those cloths that are for people who can't bathe. They come in a pack of 2 or 3. You heat it up in the microwave to get it to "work." I don't use them every time I commute, but it's an option. I'll usually stick them in the micro and let it "cook" while I am taking my work clothes out and getting any other bathroom supplies ready. They don't leave a film like baby wipes and they don't smell.
    I shower in the AM before I commute, and apply deoderant liberally. That way, when I arrive, I may be sweaty, but I don't usually stink! Washing up in the sink does not take that long, just face and pits, then wet my hair and run some gel through it.

    This may have to change if I get the transfer to a technical job in the company....right now this works well because of call center job so I can pretty much wear whatever I want but.....

    Night before: get bike ready, pump the tires, lay out the clothes, put change of shirt in the back pack.


    Morning of
    : drink coffee, eat grub, head out the door.

    Arrive at work: park bike in the office next to the other two bikes. I've recruited Robt. and Bob to the tribe. Head to the bathroom. If co-ed bathroom is available I have it to myself. Use REI camp towel or equivalent to clean up, just sponge off, towel dry. I also carry unscented wipes, sunscreen ....

    Change into regular shirt. Still wearing either tights or more likely Zoic Capris, slightly pant-like.

    At work: hang jersey on wire hanger, endure stares of co-workers, stare longingly at bike shoes under desk.

    After work: During last call of the day (yes folks, I'm talking to you and I just want to get out the door and on my bike) provide excellent service while changing back into bike shoes. Leave spare Keens I wore at work. Log off, change back into jersey (in bathroom). Ride home.
