shower before Caltrain?

June 22, 2011 - 8:05am -- bobs

How do you improve your personal aroma before boarding the train?

I live in Saratoga and commute to San Francisco. It's a ten mile ride to the nearest Caltrain station, which is no problem except I arrive sweaty. I would love to have a shower before I board a train in Sunnyvale or Mountain View, or really anywhere in Santa Clara County.

I asked the folks at http://bikestation.com but they have no plans in the area.

Ideas:
Deodorant
wetnaps or premoistened towelettes
changing into dry clothes before boarding

I ride 12 miles and personally, I use baby wipes and scented spray. Since I've just showered before I left, it's never really been a problem. But even just the baby wipes seem to suffice. Hope that helps!
