I grew up there, and before I got my driver's license, I biked everywhere. It was less than a 5 minute ride to the W&OD, which is a long, bike trail. It even hooks up with another trail (don't remember the name) that went to Ballston, so I could visit a friend I had that lived there. It was a 30 mile ride, with a total of about 1 mile not on a paved, well maintained bike trail.
I was in HS, so my solution for the shower thing was:
1) Gym showers at school (duh)
2) Anywhere else, I usually had a friend within a mile of it, since so much is mixed zoning, that would let me use their shower.
