You like the fact that you are avoiding a journey which won't have even warmed the engine oil up properly by the time you get there.
You smile as your cycle path takes you past one or two spots of congestion, and ignore the fact that those people will still be in work before you.
You think "I'm saving money by showering at the office", and don't mind that the whole office has to spend the day smelling your sweaty clothes, and your wife has to spend the evening doing so (I can't shower when I get home as it would wake my toddler).

32) You work in IT and use the backs of server racks to dry your gloves.

Everything, shirts, coats, shoes, gloves, skull cap, and you have your favorite rack which does the job the quickest, and also the one which hides everything hanging there from the boss
