CI-2009 SSc3.2: Alternative Transportation—Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms
Has anyone had any success approaching this credit using the Retail requirements--where it is only required to provide lockable changing rooms?
There may be a CIR related to a similar attempt/approach for other credits/certifications, but it would be too broad to search...I think.

Does LEED have any requirements on spacing or the type of bike racks used? What about security?
Are there specific requirements for the changing rooms, such as size?
Do bike racks have to be within the LEED project boundary?
Is a general storage room that is accessible to residents acceptable for covered bike storage?
Do I round up or down? What if the calculations show that I need 0.5 showers?

What's the reasoning for not providing bike racks or showering facilities?

client/users not interested in showers, bike racks will be provided, but was thinking since retail allows you to only provide a lockable changing room that perhaps this credit could be approached with that intent.
any insight into why leed for retail doesn't require showers?

to clarify--we are providing bike racks, and lockable changing rooms, per LEED for Retail requirements, and attempting an 'Alternative Compliance Path.'
