I, for one, do not wish to smell my malodorous coworkers - who have walked or cycled to work and are all sweaty - all day. I already have one of them and it makes me want to vomit. | |||||||||||||||||

There are ways to gently inform the person(s) of your discomfort. If communicated well, it can be settled. In one case I dealt with, body odour of someone on my team was causing another person distress, but some gentle, kind advice (yes, it was embarrassing as hell so we did it in private) and a quick trip by him to the shops for some deodorant resolved the problem almost instantly. Here's hoping. | |||||||||||||||||

There are many ways to avoid this. The problem is your co-worker, not cyclists. | |||||||||||||||||

Man if only there was a solution to this. It's almost as if we could design our environment to minimize this (bike- and pedestrian-friendly routes) and then deal with the aftermath if it happens anyway (showers). I do not consider employers that do not offer showers. | |||||||||||||||||

Yeah, we need to further normalize and require people never spending any time outside. I'm sure that'll go well for our society. The world will be great once we wealthy people move to the giant dome cities where we can rid ourselves of the requirements of being outside from time to time. | |||||||||||||||||
