I bought my bright orange Townie a few weeks ago, and have been jazzing it up to ride in style every day. I ordered the Pink/Orange Basil Blossom panniers last night. Most of my rides have been to and from the bike shop, but I did one big day (for me, so far) of 8 miles to school, the grocery store, and back home. I was hoping to ride in my usual jeans and t-shirt, but it got uncomfortable in the 96 degree heat towards the end.

I had a bit of an idea for a more comfortable ride. I bought a set of black "moisture wicking" shorts and tank top. Then I can ride to school and throw on a mid-length wrap-around skirt and change into sandals. The combo looks surprisingly good on me. I'm not the most fashionable person.

What do you guys wear for commuting, and do you change clothes when you get there?
