3.5 miles? You don't need anything special except a leg strap or something to keep your pants out of your chain.
Oh yeah, a leg strap! Good call. I have like 6 of them because I keep getting free ones at local rides and new shops, etc.

Yeah, what TurbineBlade said about clothing.
Seriously? Great. Usually when people see the word "cotton" their brain immediately recoils and neurons fire in a series to recall them reading something from the REI website about "how to dress for hiking" or something -- where it says COTTON KILLS. Then they repeat this ad nauseum without ever really trying anything out on the road themselves.

It's not a 3-day ride through Greenland for most bike commuters. Death from exposure is not a huge worry for me anyway. Comfort is never an issue, as I don't sweat from underdressing.
