Butt Butter= cyclists best friend. Chaffing is NOT fun in any way shape or form. I actually prefer to use Bodyglide because it is endorsed by USATriathlon (not that the name doesn't also sound like some sort of fetish product). Bodyglide/butt butter are like the duct tape of an athlete's life....wetsuit gets stuck on your feet? bodyglide. Blisters from socks? Bodyglide. Chaffing issues? Bodyglide. About the only thing you CANT do is eat it.

And I ride the 25 miles to and from job A and the 27 miles to and from job B every day of the week. I've got shower facilities and a place to store clean clothes/shower stuff too. And they don't mind me keeping my bike in the office or coming in with my cleats still on. There's 3 other triathletes and a marathoner in job A and job B is full of rock climbers and other outside people.

It only really sucks when it snows, simply because the salt is REALLY difficult to get off of your bike. Studded tires take care of the ice, but man, the salt SUCKS, especially if you get stuck behind the truck.
