Flooding and "wet room" style unisex showers is something we have at our work too. A kids toy box with a lid works well for keeping clothes dry (although it will float around and knock your ankles on occasion). If you get a proper sturdy one it is even possible to stand on it to put your trousers on!

Bollo said:Although I can access some showers at work its a bit of a balls and, if I'm getting the train, its not that long a commute anyway. With the swine flu panic I've taken to using all the alcohol wash hanging about at work to freshen up instead. Mmmmmm, stingy!
Some great Viz 'top tips' here!

...never wash your arse with an alcohol-based cleaner directly after riding a 300km event. Your screams may wake other cyclists camping nearby.
My arse hurt enough last sunday when I just washed it in water

In my experience of working for a big company, the people who were responsible for stuff like that were the "Estate Management Department" ... and to get to work for the "Estate Management Department", you really and truly did have to be entirely useless at doing anything else. Where I worked, it was standard practice for people to be moved "sideways" into EMD to help them to "better leverage their skillset" - in other words they were next to f**king useless and it was a choice between EMD and the dole queue. So yes, do cut them some slack! They probably all need to share a braincell.

Its taken 12 months to sort lockers and showers at my work. The new shelter hasn't locked for nearly 3 months.....hence bikes now in offices

(Any personal feelings you may have aside) why not? Surely if your employer felt it appropriate to keep the sexes apart, they'd have provided separate changing rooms?
We have a single shower in our office - it's an office shared with 4 other companies. It's not the Hilton by a long stretch, but having worked for a few places with no shower I consider it a luxury!
There's no storage at all for your gear - my bike gear goes in a plastic bag and back in the pannier and the wet towel goes into a different plastic bag and the other pannier. I use a fresh towel each day, but I only use the small 'hand' towel size, so it's well wet by the time I've showered.
It's not pleasant putting the wet cycle gear back on in the evening, but by then there's no-one around to smell me!
The shower's nice and hot, which is all that bothers me really!
At least I've not got verucas from this one - got them from one place I worked and didn't shift them for over 5 years
