I’ve considered this several times because I’m in range for it; but always reject it on the grounds that I don’t want to sit around feeling like dried sweat and stink for eight hours. How did you deal with that when you were biking?
I put on deodorant in the morning, and I don’t race, I just go ~16-17 km/h (on average, that is; faster on straight stretches, like ~20 km/h). On a normal city bike, not a racing bicycle. I might get a little sweaty sometimes, but never so much that I got smelly. (Edit: typo)

Showers. (One of the advantages of large workplaces.)
I actually do race (when I actually bike to work) and I’ve almost never had a problem as long as I just wipe off the sweat when I get to work. I do tho bring a separate set of clothes (shirt and pants), as even in the fall and spring I completely soak my shirt (probably because I wear a messenger bag).

For what it’s worth, I do exactly the same thing with the same result.
Ditto. Hills can add some sweatiness even if you go very slowly, if your range of gears isn’t wide enough.

and sometimes if not at your workplace, then nearby (or in a gym/mall/etc nearby that is willing)
