Nearly every article i read in bikes mags make a reference somewhere about riding to and from the office or sneaking an office lunch hour ride.
Maybe its because most bike journalists work in a office? ๐
my office is outdoors! ๐
I work in an office but try to get out as much as I can ๐ to the chagrin of my customers ๐
I have a 'hot desk' shared with two other people (I spend maybe 7 hours a week sat behind it) but mostly i work in a hospital unit.
Blue Collar here Mechanical Engineer.
Firefighter - occasionally get summoned to an office to be reprimanded for minor infringement and general "attitude readjustments" that have absolutely nae hope of working.

Engineering Geologist - Some office work, some site work, depends on the contract I am working on at the time.

Work in an Office then sometimes in an Abattoir
My office has 4 wheels, air conditioning, a good stereo, and excellent views of the Clyde, Holy Loch, and the Arrochar alps! It can stop at the coffee shop on demand, and has my own stash of chocloate in the boot. Got to be something good about being a driving instructor!

Shop floor factory worker here ... i`m the only one in our group thats a manual worker , the rest sit in nice warm offices on there arses all day !
Office or site by day, by night and weekends I work in a cinema. I ride my bike to both ๐
I work as a farrier and with young offenders, nice combo of the outdoors trade type of thing and a bit of an office to keep my warm sometimes ๐
I work in sewage ๐ Means out and about all over the Lakes, Dales and north Lancashire with forrays up to the Highlands as well. Alas it doesn't give me any chance to ride to/from work as I am carrying tools and driving (on a quiet day) 100 miles (busy days can be 300+). It also means lunch time rides are right out, and I am usually too knackered come the evening to go out and ride ๐
Hopefully I will get myself organised as the weather improves, start riding more at weekends then as the days get longer find some energy to ride in the evenings too... perhaps.
