Riding to work? how easy?

As what has already been said, leave jacket and shoes at work.

I live quite close to work, so I just leave my shirt and trousers on under my textiles. Haven't had any complaints so far!

i leave my shoes in work, i dont need a suit jacket, but if i did it could stay in work, and other than that just through the leather jacket on, and heavy denim, or waterproofs over the trousers, i dont seem to be that creased when i get there, and to be honest i dont care, its the only fun i get all day

Casual dress code means I turn up in what I like... on cold days I do the same as Ed & sit there in bike gear.

Doesn't help you much though.

I commute over 600 miles a week to get to work on the bike or I walk about a mile, depends which house I am staying in. I leave most of my clothing at work, too much hassle to keep bringing it back and forth in either a tank bag or back pack.

I get dressed in work clothes, put on all my textile gear, then take all the textile gear off when I get to work. Have attended interviews in this fashion, never had a problem with a suit under bike clothes. Only issue is shoes...and I get around that by having a pair of bike boots that don't look too out of place with work trousers.

Yeah its easy. Just wear your stuff under textiles, and keep shoes under the desk.

I cycle sometimes, so take 4 or 5 shirts in a back pack occasionally and hang them up on the radiator behind my desk, they're generally crease free after a while. In saying that, even with a creased shirt I'd still be smart enough.

Also got trousers under my desk for when I cycle, and wet wipes to de-sweat as much as possible!

I used to do 27 miles.

Textile lowers, boots, thick jacket, jumper etc..
Shirt and trousers were always fine underneath.

As said, i take my shoes to work, they've never left. So i come to work, slide clothes off, put shoes on, quick face/hand wash and a cup of tea and ready to rock and roll.

4 miles though, would the bike be warm? I'd be tempted to cycle that distance.

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.

but in fairness you do own your work place dont you??

If I have meetings I dont ride to work.....If I dont then I ride if its nice lol

i put on my work cloths ie shirt and trousers jumper etc, then put textils on overt he job, bike boots, when i get to work i get my shows out from under my desk, and remove the textils

the only problem i found was that if i was wear just a shirt it would be a little creased around the waist band
