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?

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
![]() 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.

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. Druid

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 ![]() ![]()
