That is a problem in Israel too where young designers have proposed bike stands with showers. Some workplaces might consider installing a shower option.

Hopefully the rest of the year this can be a viable option. Given the growth of mass transit options expected in the future in the major Gulf cities, I see real potential for changes, but perhaps not among the wealthiest residents. 🙁
