I assume that this was also directed at me. Well one way is to take
a shower. :-) I have access to a shower where I work. But I did
visit one location where they didn't have a shower. I had to take
an alcohol bath. That was cold! I hate cold. I wouldn't recommend it
for rides over 15 miles. One problem that I do experience after my
rides is that once I've stopped I need to wait about an hour to
cool down (literally). I could go and shower but I'll continue`to
sweat for at least one hour. This is not so bad in the winter but
in the summer it means I can completely soak what ever I put on
after a shower.

Oh, to avoid offending my coworkers I avoid my coworkers. :-)

Generally I'll ride in early in the morning and do a quick
wipe down. Then grab something to eat and drink while waiting
to cool down. I can answer emails, prepare documents, review
data, prepare for new tests. Once I've cooled I'll go and shower.
Of course it's nice to have an office to leave things to dry (I'll
rinse the bike cloths as they're usually soaked from riding, even
in the winter).
