Sweating when you get to work?

[twitchboy]

I can't be the only person who, when I cycle to work, gets rather sweaty. I have no shower facilities at work.

How do you guys freshen up when you get where you're going?

Lots on here use baby wipes.

Scented Baby Wipes

Any recommendations on any particular brands of baby wipes? Doesn't that get quite expensive after a while?

 

[ianrauk]

cheapest you can get. You only need a couple a day.

Yep, supermarket basics.

Aldi baby wipes are good. Some wipes are a bit fluffy and get trapped on stubble.

Baby wipes, a manky old dry towel, and lashings of Hi Karate was my old routine.

quick wash under the armpits in the sink in the gents'. Clean shirt, and spick and snap ready to impress the clients.

A packet of baby wipes can be had for a quid and last you ages.

Alternatively, ride at a lower intensity so you don't sweat.

I was blessed with fantastic shower and changing facilities when I worked full time, so I was very lucky.

And, purely on that basis, I would never ever have considered cycling to work without them.

Baby wipes or no baby wipes, I reckon I would have felt dirty and smelly without a shower and a shave.

Nice clean shirt and dapper suit mixed with sweaty, greasy hair!

Yuk, no thanks.

Just saying like.

I keep a shoe bag, on the back of the door in the cloakroom, with baby wipes for under arms, anti- perspirant, hair brush and spare undies in case I forget anything in my back pack. I wash my face with water. I roll up my clean top/blouse and that goes on top of everything else in the back pack. I also allow time to cool down before I'm expected to be presentable to start work.

When I rode to work, I belonged to a gym across from work. Get in early, short swim and shower and off across the parking lot. Baby wipes from Aldis in a pinch.

Aldi's wet wipes, they freshen you up a treat. I don't have the worry of chin stubble yet.

I work with teenagers and they would soon let me know if there was a problem
