Lets see your work workout area!
Can't Post
Since the snow has started to fly I have set up the ride up on blocks (computrainer) at work for the season. Got me thinking about what other people's workout area looks like at their work.
Here's mine:

My house is 1 mile from the veloway
I can go hard nonstop there, no stoplights, no risk of collision with a car
I know austinites look down on the veloway but its a good spot for rides during the week =)

Didn't mean to look down on it. It's just that it's so full of sharp turns and so devoid of any inclines (except that one), it just didn't strike me as particularly good place to train.
(Sorry to OP for hijacking).

For THAT pool??? That's absurd! I pay way more than that per month for a five lane POS.

Actually, for $24 I get to use that pool, another 25 yd pool, and about 5 different workout centers scattered around campus...

Harvard. They switch back and forth between 25 yds and 50m. Watching the contours of the bottom of the pool change when it is in 50m mode as you swim over the diving well is a real treat.

Mine looks the same as yours, except in my dimly lit basement
Fan is sitting on a stool directly in front of my aero bars pointing at my head for when I do my pathetic 2x20 intervals in the aero position.

Just more evidence that our YMCA pool sucks. The worst part about it is the restricted times for adult swimmers. Since I don't have any affiliation with the local University, it's the only game in town. Woe is me.

I was thinking today how lucky I am to be spoiled with a college pool, too.

x3. And I got to practice last year at the same time as the girls' team!!!
Not to mention, the 20 Precor treadmills, full weight room, and a dance studio with 30' ceilings in which to set my trainer up.

Fast forward to about 1'47". Many more facilities not shown (e.g. weight room 50m from my office, swimming pool and track 4' walk from the building, etc).
