    Lots of presumptions.

    Some offices don't have showers.

    Some people actually get sweaty and smell when they have been cycling. (I've had to suffer smelly colleagues when the showers haven't been working.)

      Not as much as people who have been on the Tube. And those people don't even consider needing a shower when they get to the office.

      I did once work at a place which had no shower facilities, but I used to take a flannel and have a quick strip wash in one of the more remote loos in the building, plus a bit of a deodorant spray after. No problem.

      And a ten quid taxi fare is probably, what, four miles? No sweat, as they say.
