Commuting to a dressy office

[shootingstar]

During the first 10 years of returning cycling and cycling to and from work nearly daily spring, fall and summer, I did dress up alot more at the office. Meaning at least 3-4 work days weekly.

I was cycling a 30 km. round trip between home and work, during my work cycling commutes, which included summer days @ 80-85 degree weather in summer.

Most days I did cycle with my dress clothes. I had no place to lock up/store some business clothing except for a pair of dress shoes ...in a filing cabinet drawer.

I did not shower, because there was no shower. But used wipes when I absolutely needed to which wasn't often.

I just got used to packing carefully, changing etc. out of my cycling clothing.
I guess I chose this "harder" method of cycling commuting to work and changing business clothing because I wanted both worlds: improved fitness but also to look fresh and have longer lasting business/dressier clothing.

I still change into my dress pants at work, even though I have only a 15-20 min. bike commute one-way. There is no way I will cycle even in my dress pants: I paid almost $80.00 for them...after hunting down through petite wear shops.
