How do you (if at all) handle working in a location that does not offer shower facilities? I've been head hunted for a position at a place that I know quite of a few people, however they have no shower facilities and no bike facilites what so ever.
Also this place of employment is about 30km one way from my house, so it could turn out that if I commuted anyway that the large time on the bike could turn into junk k's, and potentially could require to be transporting a laptop and gear.
Currently I do not own a car, and this new job would require one (not a bad thing, they pay an allowance for it). So that at least could then give me some freedom to put the bike in the car to/from work and then do some proper training runs (say Tuesday night crit's at Sandown with CCCC), to boost the 'quality' of training time rather than potentially large junk k's with commuting.
So how do you deal with the shower issue? and what kind of car would you as a cyclist get (assume ~$40k new), i'm thinking second hand/ex-demo, and what is perking my mind is something like a Toyota Yaris or splash out a bit and get a VW Polo GTI. The best car in the range, and very popular with cyclists appears to be the Subaru Liberty/Outback/Forester. Good cars, just expensive.
