We now have the same policy for travel - something to do with liability when I asked...


When I commuted on the bike I used to just wear my jacket over my shirt and tie and change into the trousers and shoes I left in the desk drawer overnight (I was never once asked why I was not wearing a matching suit jacket in violation of the quite strict dress code). Not great though as the shirt was always rather creased up. If I was to do it now I'd probably get a top box/tail pack and carry in a shirt and change in the loo on arrival.

+1 for textiles w/o the thermal bits in (with CE pads / back protector etc).
It's a bit awkward when I have to leave the office and meet clients (not allowed to call them users anymore - well, not to their face), but most are too interested in a) that I have a bike or b) getting their problem solved to be bothered about the dripping pile of bike kit in the corner.

I work in NHS IT, so although we are expected to wear shirt+tie there is no strict dress code to upset.

wrong sex surely!!!

the boss i'm glad to say can't complain as he's an ex bike cop. its other people making it difficult - Fire and Rescue being the main one.
I'm lucky that 99% don't batter an eye as is comes with the personality just feel weird not wearing a skirt almost under dressed.
think once ii get a few days clear i'm going to clear out a draw and just leave stuff in there ( or wait for the new boss to take over, move offices an dthen scream for a locker stating that i'm being treated differently becuase of my method of transport!)

Incidently, I used to leave spare clothes at work and change in the office. In the summer it was Draggin jeans as leathers were too hot/sticky.
