I usually commute by eBike, this way, I can keep just below the sweat level on the way in, and hit it harder on the way back when I want to. Even then, I sometimes face a brutal headwind and dial in some minimum assistance to keep going double-digit speeds.

I do work in an office and wear business casual, but I wear my work clothes on the bike, since I don't get sweaty on the way in...

eBikes are wonderful commuters; they solve a lot of sweat-related problems, and clothing/showering issues as a result.
Wait, wait. You get too sweaty to work in two miles downhill in the morning?
