Biking to work?

[Blueberry]

My biggest problem is my hair. It's decently long and thick, and usually is still rather wet. I don't like hair dryers, so I just leave it down and it dries by lunchtime and I usually pull it back then. I have to let it dry out, or my hair will start smelling funny.

Fortunately, I don't have that problem! LOL! My hair would probably be the easiest part - it's super short as I have no patience for hair dryers or other hair thingies anymore. I could probably get by with sticking my head under the sink, towel drying and geling. That's about what I usually do anyway. I know what you mean, though. Mine used to still be wet at night when I'd finally take it out of a pony tail - sometimes it did smell a little funky

Can you really get all the sweat off with a washcloth in a sink? I've always been a little hesitatant because of the - ahem - crotch area. Seems that area really needs running water after a ride of any length - even 8.5 miles as I sweat a lot (embarassing, I know).

Hmmm...might have to give it a shot next week (the bikes stayed home this week Gas prices make driving with them on top of the car a wee bit expensive for me ). My Yak rack seriously cuts into my mileage and I have a teensey car they won't fit inside.

For my stress level, I'm hoping that this job is a temporary situation - most importantly, it's been seriously getting in the way of my riding Until then...

Baby wipes may be the way to go for you there then... gentle enough but anything that can clean up baby poo has gotta be good!

Might have to give that a shot - LOL - you are correct, if it works for baby behinds then...! The other option I had contemplated is those Cottonelle (sp?) wipes - at least they don't smell quite as strong!

Guess I'll have to jump in the deep end on this one - preferably a day I don't have to meet with clients JIC of disaster (which may mean 2-3 weeks from now before I can try).

Thanks for the suggestion!

COnsider that "JIC" applies to your car, too... those disasters just don't happen that often. You could have a flat tire on the four-wheel blunder, too :-)
When my job went full-time I invested in a big ol' 15-watt light and strung Christmas lights on my basket in back. People slow down' 'cause they just don't know *what* that thing is...

CA in NC, management didn't like the clothing.

I'm seriously considering mounting a hitch on my motorcycle to mount a bike rack to it. People would really think I've lost it with that rig! But at 50 mpg, who could blame me?
