The fact that some people on this forum think that it isn't feasible for people to ride their bikes 15 miles to their workplace is a serious issue.

You aren’t lying brother. I rode my bike to work this morning. 12 miles and no problems at all besides that it was a tad humid so I drank both my gallons of water by the 6 mile mark. As soon as I got to work and showered and ironed my suit that was rolled up in my backpack I felt great.

Ran into a snag on the way home though. The office washer and dryer were down for maintenance and my riding gear from this morning made me throw up when I pulled it out of the ziplock so I had to ride home in my suit. I’m at a Racetrack right now drinking a 64 oz Powerade and feeling this great breeze though. Just enjoying life.

There are things called shower kits that you can bring with you to work.

If you need 2 gallons of water to ride 15 miles you're horribly out of shape.

If you have a white collar job, chances are you have the infrastructure to keep clothes at the office. If you work in a warehouse, your clothes likely don't need to be ironed.

What you listed are real issues that in which cyclists encounter from time to time, as facetiously as you phrased it. But let's be real; these are not the things stopping people from cycling to work. People are just lazy.
