I once had a stupidly short commute of just 1 mile each way so cycled to and from work (on a hybrid) in work clothes including collar and tie plus heavy steel toe-capped shoes!

After semi-retiring (I'm now working a 3-day week) I've cycled to and from work (on a road bike) wearing cycling kit on the following each way distances; 10 miles, 3 miles and my current 12 miles. As a former company car driver, I spent about 35 years being very envious of cycle commuters and I'm loving every minute of cycle commuting - apart from the punctures of course.
