    Cycling to business meetings-what to wear?

    I don't cycle in streetwear to work. I don't like sweating lightly or rumpling/ accidentally staining clothing. I do it for cycling gear so can't see how I could avoid it for streetwear.

    And I have to save money to pay mortgage so investing in streetwear just for biking, forget it.

    Keeping all above in mind, what would you do:
    I will be trying to set a business meeting at one of our other work locations which is a pleasant, longer bike ride that does have some areas of gravel, dust along the route, etc. It will be a 2 hr. meeting..

    We do have people that dress ranging from business casual (which I am 50% of the time because my job is primarily internal. I dress better for group and management meetings.) to abit more formal business attire.

    My practice when I attend meetings with people who I haven't worked with before or if I am the only woman, I will dress 1 notch better than just business casual (or even better than that if I know all men will be in shirt and tie): I am not a Girl Friday / clerical staff and don't want to give that subtle impression to be ordered around. My role will be conducting business analysis during part of that meeting.

    What would you wear to bike there /at the meeting? Then I have to bike back to headquarters....where I work.
