G'day dpc1, It depends on where in London you are talking about. If you 're fairly fit and a young bloke you should be able to ride at about 25 kilometres an hour without too much trouble. Work it out, it should take you three quarters of an hour, or more if you travel slower, however if you travel quicker it will obviously take you less time. I used to ride from Manor Park (East End) to Whitechapel in twenty minutes? Every day of the week, for about six years, winter and summer. In summer I would leave Whitechapel and ride down to Southend and back to Manor Park, after work, three night a week, just to get a few more miles in? One time I got stopped by a copper on Romford Road at Bow Church, he said I was "Riding Furiously" and told me to slow down? Don't think about it just do it? Keep the wheels in motion, and don't look back unless it's to see who you dropped on the last climb? TBC |

Re: Commuting to work - Body Odor
Howdy All - I'm a reporter doing a story on ways to bike to work without sweating throughout the day. I've noted some of your tips and wonder if any of you would like to respond/be interviewed for this story, please email me at jhatherly@tc.canwest.com. I write for the Victoria Times Colonist newspaper in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. I'd like to know if any of you have any stories about that post-commute sweat (I sweat for a full hour after biking to work and nothing seems to stop it - neither soap, nor cold showers, etc.). Also, have anyof you had problems with your employer as a result of your flushed appearance, or are they pretty cool about it? Thanks for any responses.

Re: Commuting to work - Body Odor
I carry body wipes, deoderant and most importantly arrive very eairly to work so I can cool down before I change.

Re: Commuting to work - Body Odor
I've used many of these strategies in the past and present;
- ride slowely - wash down over sink - mask - use toileties of choice - roll cothes together with towe etc Another trick with clothing is to let the cothing hang for 24 hours before you use it. This means you are brinning in tomorrows clothing today. Also helps with that nasty supprise that your forgot to pack your pants. Having a shower can help a lot, I'm assuming that you do not have access to a shower? What about the buildings nearby, perhaps you can park in another basement nearby, use their shower and walk out to work. Are there joggers at lunchtime? Where are they showering? Perhaps one of the other business's in your building has a shower and will let you use it. Still haven't got a shower? What about the gym nearby? Apart from a shower, they have lots of other interesting stuff and they probably have an iron, handy for a quick touchup. BTW, do you dryclean your shirts? Do it locally to work. |
