Keeping track of all yer stuff!

[Kitty Gatita]

Or different pedals. Think dual sided. My commuter has the ones with SPD on one side for when you can find your shoes, flat on the other for when you can't find your shoes or just want to hop on the bike and ride in whatever shoes you have on.

Do tell! What pedals do you have??!!!

I used to keep two fairly wrinkle free outfits at work -- black what-I-call Chico's pants, those travelers pants, a long skirt, two different tops, a black sweater or neutral jacket, a decent bra, and a pair of sandals. In the winter the Chico's pants would work with a layer of Cuddle Duds underneath, and I'd keep a couple of pairs of black tights in a file cabinet drawer, make-up too, and a pair of Danskos or other appropriate shoe under my desk. It was just the underwear that had to make the trip back 'n' forth. After the morning I rode to the Y, swam, then went to change before riding to work and discovered NO UNDIES -- I am now the proud owner of a Pepto-Bismol pink strapless, all that Target had in my size at 8am -- I started keeping an emergency set at the office.

Terry sells this thing they call a bicycle cube for keeping all your stuff together -- plain, deluxe, and recycled deluxe, but I would pack my pannier the night before. I like the checkoff list idea!

And that martini story is the best!

Dress where I work is very casual, so unless I get creamed by paint, playdough, school lunch, or eek! I usually wear the same jeans all week anyway, so it doesn't matter if they spend a few nights in my office file cabinet.

In cases of eek! it might mean a trip home to the laundry immediately.
