Bicycle Laws for the Workplace
Thread started by

I once read somewhere that workplaces with over x number of people or x number of square footage of workspace are required to provide showers for bicycle commuters.
Can't remember where I read it, or whether it was for Los Angeles city, county or California laws.
Anybody else seen this, and remember where?

Thanks everyone (except for the golden shower offer ???) - Found it:
