I biked to work the last 3 days....not bad ,6 miles each way ,but its the getting changed to look presentable thats hard to do. Its also kinda hard to carry a back pack.

One of our bike club guys went to the coffee shops & got 'em to give discounts to cycilsts on bike to work day, which we're doing on Friday May 18. ( Maybe he told each one the all the other ones were doing it or something? )

Do we just walk in all sweaty with smashed helmet hair to qualify for the discount?

Suzie, I use a backpack to commute with. It's actually not that bad, you just have to make sure it rides up high on your back (i.e. crank those shoulder straps tight). As long as I'm not a packrat and only bring the minimal stuff (small camp towel, travel shower stuff, clothes for the day/LIGHT shoes... this requires serious outfit consideration but is easier in the summer) then it's not bad, and I ride a road bike and even find it comfortable to ride in the drops with the bag on for most of the time!

I would love to get some of my coworkers to ride in, but they've got the kids excuse. I'm working on them for the summer though...

I use a backpack too. I actually like it better than loading down the back of the bike.
All I carry is a change of clothes and a lunch and my wallet and cellphone it's just not THAT heavy.

I'm the opposite, I'm looking to buy a rack because my shirt is soaked through by the time I get to work when I wear a backpack.
