Tried a full change of clothes at the office vs. baby wipes in the stall for 2 weeks and one of these is a joke
Honestly I spent 2 weeks trying to make the wipe-down thing work because everyone online swears by it, and by day 3 I was standing in a bathroom stall at 8am with a pack of wipes feeling gross and still damp when I sat down at my desk. Ngl the sweat just keeps coming for like 20 minutes after you stop pedaling, so wiping at the start does nothing, you're back to sticky by the time you open your laptop. This week I just started bringing a full change of clothes in a dry bag, shirt, socks, the whole thing, and using the gym shower two blocks from my office for $12 a month. Night and day. I get in, rinse off, put on a clean shirt, and I'm actually cold and comfy at my desk instead of that clammy thing where your back sticks to the chair. The wipe thing might work if your ride is 10 minutes and it's 60 degrees out, but for my 7 mile ride through Austin in this heat it's not even close. Has anyone found a cheaper shower spot than a gym membership, or is that just what it costs?
