I don't have any special riding gear (wear regular clothes, carry things in backpack). Then again, for my work doesn't matter if I show up sweaty or dirty, since I'll be that way within an hour anyways. How do you folks with "nicer" jobs handle the commute?
I don't wear work clothes on my commute. I keep at least THREE changes of clothes at work. Swap them out every weekend. So, when I commute, I got on riding gear, and dressed according to the weather.. IMO, riding to work in work clothes, takes something away from both action. The ride is not as comfortable, and then you have to wear the clothes your commute at work. To me, that is a downer on both ends.
Only speaking for myself..
