Here are a few suggestions:
  • ride the last mile at a cool down pace, unzip your jacket, etc. and don't overdress; immediately remove as much clothing as possible when you arrive and put it in a stuff sack (REI sells them)
  • leave as much at work as possible, including shoes, locks, battery chargers, winter coat, umbrella, spare bike stuff
  • don't carry anything unless you actually need it (leave the heavy wallet and keys at home)
  • eat before you ride
  • shower when you get to work if available, rather than before riding
