Failed attempt to not sweat!
I had to go to court to see my p.o. the other day so I wore khakis and a polo. I figure it's six miles so I should be able to make it there without looking like I just outran the cops. I get bored after about a mile and decide to ride as hard as I can the rest of the way. I show up, go through the metal detectors and to the bathroom. There is a saddle shaped mark of sweat on my *****. I had to sit there waiting and talk to her and everything like that. Next time I bring a change of clothes.

LOL. I'm sure most of us have done the same thing. First time I did it my p.o. was all like...."what were you doing...outrunning the cops" we had a good laugh and then I got sent back to jail. Believe me I don't ride a bike when I see my p.o. anymore!! LOL.

Can't relate. I've never been to see my p.o. because I've never had one. I have had to pee in a cup on numerous occassions, though, with a dude watching while I was in the military.
Waer shorts to ride in, then change.

I tried (and failed) to arrive sweat-free at work today by wearing my mesh safety vest without a shirt, and then switching into my polo shirt at work. On the plus side, my shirt was dry, on the minus side, i was dripping sweat.
After a few minutes of being inside, the sweat all evaporated and I was dry.

That's my commute distance... beleive I have to ride SLOW to avoid sweating badly, and I'm in shorts and a jersey.

My latest sweat-beating strategy is to ride with my mouth closed. I have mild allergies that stuff up my nose enough that it's tough to breathe. If it's tough to breathe, I slow down
