You can try bicycling, it's faster and you won't sweat unless you have to go uphill. Also, if your office has showers (a rare but nice feature) you can go running/bicycling and have a shower.

Indeed. Id recommend using a fixie - http://www.askmen.com/sports/bodybuilding_250/268_fixed-gear...

If showering is not an option, choosing the right apparel can get you through the day. http://shop.outlier.cc/index.html

The compromises are an inconvenience, but IMO the subsequent healthier and happier life is worth it.

A fixy is the shortest route to blown out knees. Especially if they were bad to start with.
