900 wipes from Sam's Club for about $17 |
Some of my hard core bike commuting friends in the
Bike Commuter Cabal have converted me to shower-less bike commuting. I have always had a rule that I could not bike commute unless I had a place to take a shower. I was recently told by the facilities management team where I work that they no longer wanted to maintain the shower in the building where I store and change clothes. This building is an old residence hall and is slated for demolition. For the past three days I have taken some advice and instead of showering after my ride to work I am using baby wipes to get the perspiration off of my skin.

Small pouches that can be re-sealed |
So far things are working out OK. I have made some changes in my bike route to work so I am not adding to the perspiration issue. I am not taking my long 25 to 50 mile morning commutes, but I have chosen to take my 12 mile rout to work in the mornings. It is also late fall so the temperatures are colder so this is giving me a chance to get use to this new routine when the weather is not sweltering.
I am glad that I can still bike commute using this new system. One of the main reasons that I choose to bike commute is to keep one less car on the road. By default my bike commute keeps me fit and mentally sane when I arrive at work and home, but I really want to keep as many motor vehicles off the road when possible.

Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal |
I also want to recommend a deodorant product that my skin doctor turned me on to.
Naturally Fresh Deodorant Crystal is all natural and does not contain any aluminum chlorohydrates. My wife suggested that I visit a dermatologist after my skin started to break out from using another deodorant product. Sometimes I have to give up on my cave man mentality and accept to the fact that organic stuff sometimes works. Don't get me wrong, I am an advocate of organic foods and products, but sometimes when I use them in harsh environments like on my bike or when it comes to dealing with sweat and dirt after a ride I have to really be convinced that the products will work. This product works. By the way the bottle labeled hand soap is not hand soap, it is a recycled bottle that actually contains
Dr. Bonner's soap. I have used Dr. Bonner's soap for a long time and it really works.
