suggestion for bike shop owners

I know this might be asking a lot, but since people sometimes drive a ways to go biking. If you offered shower facilities, or a locker room type thing that would be awesome. I have thought many times how nice it would be to drive up to flag go biking and go out to dinner or hang around town after a ride, but after the ride, I just want to get home and take a shower. I would not mind paying to use a shower either, especially if it was a nice set up.

Geez, what a novel idea.

Koa

or Little America

Flagstaff Athletic Club - $10

or the YMCA... "Young man, there is no need to feel down..."

Baby wipes

Lynx Lake in the summer.

I was thinking about the YMCA, can you just use the showers with out a membership. I know KOA is a camp ground, is little america also.

Another take on that is BodyGuard wipes. They are used by hunters to destroy human odor. Bow hunters use them a lot, especially if they go on a hunt after work and can't wash in scent killing soap first.

You can keep one of these packs in the glovebox, and when you need a quick spruce up to go in somewhere and eat some pizza or something without running out all the customers just wipe down from head to toe with one of these and put on some fresh clothes, and you will be passable until you can get home, or to a real shower. They are very effective at killing odor, since they are made for hunters trying to sneak up on prey.

I find that the fastest service is usually when I stink the worst...

In Durango, there's a coin shower in a laundromat north of town. It's been a godsend after many a wet n nasty ride before heading back to camp at Junction Creek. I've left a lot of mud in that shower.

This is why I have 2 labs. After a long sweaty ride, they think I'm a salt-lick.

Moab has plenty of pay showers too, best thing ever when you're camping Don't know of any shops with facilities (Rage does have a shower but it's used for storage )

Wool jerseys, many of us are bike shop-aholics. Wide selection of lubes, for my gal.

why does your gal need lube ?

Buy a Solar shower, been using one for years.

Fire Dept - ask for the "Bull Connor" shower. Built-in massaging also.

FLIP FLOPS!

Looks like that shower is constructed with just PVC. Could probably make one.
