I have suggested to friends who live closer to thier workplace than I do that they should bike or even run to work and the main reason I hear as to why they don't is they don't have to ability to shower off once they get to their office. And in SC, biking to work in the middle of July almost requires you to shower off. My commute is 7.5 miles, however, I do have the luxury of a shower in my workplace. It makes you wonder how much longer until employers provide these facilites so to encourage their employees to bike/walk/run to work.
