They're also ignoring that they smell terrible when arriving to the office. Nothing like showing up to work all sweaty and stinking all day because you're a "cyclist", somehow their coworkers are meant to tolerate this abhorrent behavior.

Downvote all you want; it violates the unwritten social contract you accept when working in a shared office with fellow humans. Furthermore, the spandex looks silly and is worthy of ridicule.

Most people cycle in their normal clothes at a sedate pace. They no more arrive sweaty at the office than someone that walked.

As another commenter mentioned, you don’t have to bike (or walk) so fast you turn up drenched in sweat.

But even if you do, since cycling exploded in popularity over the last decade or so, many (most?) offices here in London now have showers, and those that don’t are getting upgraded fast (as tenants are generally not interested in offices without them).

Cities adapt to the needs of their citizens, it becomes a non-issue.
