By my back door I have all my shoes (depending on the bike and weather, I'll go from Adidas Sambas to winter snow boots to Florsheim dress shoes, to sneakers). As it's in the kitchen, I keep one water bottle in the freezer, another in the fridge. The bag (complete with a work shirt and any work I brought home) is hanging on a hook by the door, along with my windbreaker and fleece. The night before I lay out my work clothes (which also happens to be my cycling clothes).

Right now, my routine is this:

1. wake up.
2. hit the snooze about 5 times
3. get up, let the dogs out
4. come back to the bedroom and throw on my undies, long johns, undershirt, pants and socks (socks go over the pants).
5. Walk back to the back door (collecting my wallet, keys and cell phone from the desk as I go)
6. let the dogs in - they go to their crates where they sleep all day (what a life!)
7. put on the shoes of the day and either both fleece and windbreaker or just the windbreaker
8. nab the bag and bottles
9. head to the garage. Here, I have my stocking hat, gloves, helmet and bike.
10. throw in the earplugs, then stocking hat, then helmet. Put on the gloves du-jour (right now, wool work gloves, although that too changes)
11. drop the particular bike from the ceiling, lean on it to check tire pressure, throw in the water bottles (assuming the Univega), hit play, and head off to work.

Once I get to work, I have deodorant and my fresh shirt and tie waiting for me. Throw on the shirt and tie, some D-O for my B-O and check my hair in the mirror in my closet, and we're ready to teach the future of America!
