Riding to work? how easy?
 

I live about 7 miles from my work, mostly motorway so pretty simple route. That's not what i'm thinking would be hard though, I have to wear a suit so i'm not sure how it's going to work! Apparently there are lockers and showers at the bottom of the building but there's a waiting list for the lockers. Any of you lot got a tried and tested method?

thats why i go in the car, its only 4 miles, and it just does not seem worth the hassle

Leave your suit jacket at work on the back of the chair. Leave shoes under desk. Nip into the loo to change keks. Once a week bring the car or go on the bus with a backpack with a supply of clean shirts, leave in desk drawer. Or else stuff it all in a tank bag. Simple. It can be a hassle though. I only work 3 miles away and while I love going the long way round it's still a nuisance. So sometimes I just sit there in my leathers all day and if people don't like it well that's too bad.

Get your company to have a casual dress policy like mine does its much much easier :D

As the others have said leave as much as possible at work and then get changed in the loo's

I found rolling stuff up makes it less prone to creasing that folding does.

yeah, but you work in a weirdo kinky fetish shop

i leave my jacket at work, use a knox bag to take my shoes, trousers, and shirt into work every day, and get changed at work - at times my shirt is a little creased but nothing too bad,

I have a number of different techniques depending on situation, normally I leave my trousers, shoes, jacket and tie at work then put a folded shirt in my bag and get changed at work as I'll tend to wear 1/2 piece leathers.

When it's a bit cooler I wear cordura and wear work trousers under them and a shirt under my jacket.

I go in the car on a Monday and take clean trousers and stuff them in my rucksack on the way home Friday - take a shirt every day - its a little creased but no worse than sitting in the car IMO...

Oh and this is on a push-bike ;) Its only 8 miles so not worth getting the bike out really - try that instead and save some cash ;)
