Closest to cycling chic & why I can't get into cycling chic

[shootingstar]

Copenhagen is quite flat --I was there for 5 days in 2010. Even cycling to the airport from downtown, was only 10 km. one way. A breeze!!

*In photo, it was approx. 45 degrees F., no wind.

I agree Pam, that tweeds are like reliable wools..at least higher quality tweeds.

One of the short rides from 1 workplace to another, I was wearing a creamy white tailored shirt with stand-up collar. All I could think of as I cycled: Don't cycle hard and sweat up that pristine colllar, so that I would have to wash it after only wearing top for 1 day.

I can't enjoy a bike ride fully if I have to think about not sweating up nice clothing PLUS pay attention to traffic. I wish I could and had the income to support a full out wardrobe for work purposes (vs. weekend events) to be cycling to work without changing. Let's see, income to support more frequent dry cleaning of fully lined dress coats and business office jackets.

Has anyone in these forums worn a skirt/dress pants/business suit often for the business work environment on bike without changing? Let's see a pic or 2.
