Commuting to a dressy office

[Tri Girl]

How long is your commute? If it's not too far, what about just commuting in your dressy clothes?

I work 3 miles from home and commute daily in dresses/skirts/heels, etc.
I have a road bike that I sometimes use, but for the most part I just ride an old cruiser bike that I converted to a commuter. I have flat pedals and my heels work just fine.

She's an attorney and bike commutes to downtown Chicago on her Dutch Oma bike daily. I'm not exactly sure how long her commute is, but I think it takes her somewhere around 40 minutes to ride each way.

But if that isn't an option, then for sure drive your dressy clothes once a week and then ride the rest of the week. I did that for a year before I just decided to start riding- much more slowly so as to not sweat and work up a smell- in my work clothes (thanks to tips from the site above).
Granted, now that I ride to work in my nice clothes, it takes me twice as long now to get there (20 min. as opposed to 10 on my fast bike), but I arrive sweat-free and still smelling nice. I've had to totally change my bike riding mind-set to ride to work this way tho; rememering that the fun is in the journey and to stop and smell the roses (sometimes literally).
Good luck!!
