Commuting and the train before a shower?
Discussion
Sorry for the confusing title.
I live in North Manchester, about 11 miles from the city centre and Piccadilly station. My office and the majority of my customers are in London - so I get the train about 2-3 times a week to the capital.
Last year, I tried the TFGM Cycle Hub at City Tower - where you can park your bike and have a shower - but sadly it's only open 6-8pm. Most days I travel, I either set off earlier than this or arrive back later than 8pm. Unfortunately, I've not cycled to the city centre since last year.
So I am considering just cycling to Piccadilly, locking up the bike at the station, getting on the train and having a shower at the office. However, I don't want to stink the train out and I generally feel very uncomfortable in my bib shorts/top when sweaty and stopped. I certainly can't imagine 2+ hours on the train like this.
Does anyone else cycle then get the train before having a shower? Am I worrying about nothing?
