If you have a bike with an upright riding posture, you might even ride in like a Dane, at a lower peed, but dressed for work and ready to go.

When Spring comes, you might opt to modify the routine occasionally by going in with her in the AM, but making a nice ride of going home the scenic way (if one exists).

In any case, it's your ride, and your life, so there's no such thing as cheating.
True. This is a recently new job for her and the first time we have both been on similar work schedules. I call it cheating because it isn't all the way from home. As for work clothes and such - yeah, I was planning on just wearing whatever I was going to wear that day. It's something new, trying to be multimodal.
