I have tried to ride "easy" but when temps are in the mid 80s or above, I can't seem to manage it. So how do you do this without resorting to using a car? I would say baby wipes and change quick in the restroom, but that doesn't really work at most of the bars my co-workers like to schedule for our post-work management feedback meetings.

Any tips would be appreciated. The venue is typically 2-3 miles from work, and often includes 1 or two decent hills, but nothing too taxing. Still, I end up sweating through my jersey even if I go easy gears spinning at 6 mph.
E-Assist for the hills works wonders in the sweat department... Ever since I got mine I started to use my bike for transportation more and more instead of the car, not just for fun/exercise riding like before the E-Assist...
