New Job..... new riding style??

Well I had to go back to the suit wearing corporate world. My office is very close (15min easy ride). No showers or locker room, so I'd be doing the bathroom change.

What is the best way to get a suit to work on a bike? I don't have a place in the office where I could store a week's worth of suits and shirts, so any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!!!!!!

You only need one suit on a hanger at work; keep shoes there as well. You can ride in wearing your shirt if you take it easy. Any time saved by going quickly will be used up cooling down.

i don't wear a suit, but i keep nice dress shirts at work i wear with dockers and nice jeans.

one tip: if you get your dress shirts dry cleaned ask for them to be folded. for me iot's about .50 cents more, but then i can easily slip them into my grocery pannier
