Headed for the bike store to test drive three different bikes I had picked a few days earlier, I did go there with all the clothes I'd be wearing was I to commute on my chosen bike. My only mistake is that it was mid-March and in Montreal, Quebec. I nearly froze my ears pedaling my way up and down the streets. So my humble advice : if its been a while since you were on a bike and this is not summer, do remember wind factor. ROTF
