The clothes I wear on my bike are co-mingled with the rest of my clothes in dresser drawers. They don't yet warrant their own space. Likewise the shoes, jacket, hats/balaclavas, gloves are kept near the back door (off the kitchen) with the rest of the family's outerwear. It's all on hooks or in cubbies.

In the morning I pack my work clothes, lunch, laptop, wallet, and phone in my messenger bag. I shave but skip the shower until I get to work. My Messenger bag used to have its own spot but that was co-opted. Now it roams.

A good chunk of my morning is just helping the kids along in their process of getting ready for school.

When I'm personally ready to go, I take about 3 steps out my back door to the service door of the garage. The bike is right inside that door and my helmet is usually hanging from the bars.

Once at work I check my email and phone messages, grab my gym bag (which contains shampoo, soap, work shoes, etc) and towel, transfer work clothes from mess bag to gym bag, then head to the shower.

I could streamline that process by packing my work clothes and setting out my bike clothes the night before but I'm too lazy.
