For LEED credits that require bicycle storage as well as shower and changing facilities, the shower requirement can be met in office buildings by providing free access to a health club shower within the building. This option allows the project to comply with the intent of the LEED credit by ensuring that employees who cycle to work have convenient access to facilities that allow them to clean up and change, thereby promoting cycling as a viable commuting option. Offering free access to showers at a health club located within the same building ensures that the facilities are easily accessible and available to all employees, which meets the LEED requirements for this credit.
