that is when you commute to work?
using the bike for commuting a lot and find it hard to fit in with the expected dress code ( not that there is really one but i can't fit a skirt under the leathers) I don't have a locker or anywhere to change except toilets - so can't even leave a set of clothes here. and no the council will not fund a locker for me ![]() so help me out here Ta |

I bring in jeans and trainers in my kriega pack and change into them in the disabled toilet.
We're a media company, so jeans and trainers are acceptable dress code. |

I ride in just the leathers then get changed in the office, there's a quiet little corner or the shower cubicles for me so it's not an issue
![]() Do you have a drawer at work or a top box you can fold clothes into? I keep some shirts and trousers in my drawer and got an Iron from Robert Dyas next door to keep in the office just in case =p. If your commutes not too long you can always fold some stuff into a backpack and it won't be TOO bad by the time you hit work. |

I normalyy end up with non creasable tunic and leggings - not always great when meeting the Chief exec. (but he does know i'm a biker)
thinking i'm making a mountain out of a mole hill - seeing as there is no dress code |

I used to commute in Textiles and I just wore my work stuff underneath and left a pair of shoes under my desk. Like you we have a casual dress policy so it wasnt to big a problem.
Leathers is a bit more tricky.. so I used to leave Jeans / Trousers, Shoes in my bottom desk draw and then wear a t-shirt under my jacket that I would wear during the day. I used to get changed in toilets or the shower room depends which was free. On days when I was visiting suppliers or had meetings where I had to look smart, I'd use the car to get to work...

Using textiles with the quilted lining removed affords room to wear ordinary cloths underneath-----------possible problem with the skirt though

I was supposed to use a car for work, but occasionally if the sun shone I would go in on the bike. I kept a suit, couple of clean shirts, pair of shoes etc in a cupboard in my office and would close the blinds, lock the door and get changed in my office whenever I rode in.
I once made the mistake of visiting my Rugby office on the bike a few years ago. A helmet, leathers, boots dumped in the corner of a "hot office" let everyone know I had come down on the bike. first words from my boss when he saw them was "I hope you are not going to claim for use of your motorcycle as it is against company policy to use one for business travel?"
