Many more members of the inner city workforce would be motivated to exercise throughout the day if the activity could be made more convenient. The My Lane mobile shower presents a solution to the problem of post-workout sanitation by welcoming people into its facilities before they head back to the office.
Essentially, the jogger's Johnny on the Spot proposal offers the public a place to de-sweat, optimally located in downtown parks. In order to prevent this sort of setup from becoming a site for sketchy activity, designer Pierandrei Associati suggests a secure system of members-only entry. For anyone active enough to circle the gardens in sneakers or on a bike before 9am or at lunch time, the My Lane mobile shower is a place where she can go to refresh, when her own workplace hasn't the amenities for her.
