I have been offered a job in Bath, and I would like to cycle in once a week to help my fitness.
However my new potential workplace doesn't have shower facilities, so does anyone know of any mud-dock type setups in Bath with secure storage and showers?
No not yet*, only option might be to use the showers at the Sports Centre (Grand Parade)??
*Avon Valley are moving from the rear of the station to the front - would be great if they could get some kind of Mud Dock type facility set up)
Should add railing outside of Sports Centre double as bike park. You could leave a D lock attached to them.
There are no facilites at my work and I ride every day, only a short one at the moment but have done 15 mile off road commute before now. I would recommend having a meeting with your boss after a sweaty ride and suggesting some shower facilities 😉 Or just use the sink in the toilets for a gentlemans wash... The biggest problem I've had wasn't the sweat but the mud. I tend to wear shorts at work though.
I thought everyone in Bath just smelled of Penhalligons or Crabtree and Evelyn - if you don't, you're not achingly lower upper class enough to work there. Sorry.
what's a penhalligon?
How far is your commute ?
As nice as a shower is you can freshen up suprisingly well if you shower before your commute, but depends how long your riding for. I use baby wipes & plenty of Arrid XXX body spray.
If you have to ask, you'll not be living or working in Bath.
Analogue Andy smells divine!

£25per 300ml 😯 Think I'll stick with the Lynx
If the mens lav sinks are ok you might getaway with it.
If you meet clients then a shower would be useful-try the local gyms?
Expensive shower though.
I would never shower in Muddock after watching all the sewage reverse pump out...
I would be riding from Bristol, so I suspect I will be getting sweaty, as for asking for showers, well I forgot to negotiate that part of the package 😉
Might look at the sports centre once I have got myself established
Thanks for the help everyone.
I ride in from Bristol every day and don't have showers at the bath end but because it it pretty much flat along the cycle path I find it is quite easy to take it gentle-ish and not get too sweaty, so get away without needing a shower at the other end.
