IMO, it shoud be standard procedure for REGULAR COMMUTERS to keep a change of clothes at work. This allows the commuter to DRESSED for the RIDE. To try to dress for work and ride at the same time, IMO, misses both objectives. I keep three changes of clothes at work, along with 3 pairs cowboy boots (I don't wear shoes) ;)). Once a week my wife drives to work, and brings a fresh set of clothes and take the old ones back.

On my commute to work, I am fully dressed for the ride. Bike shorts, tights, etc... I commute to work on the bicycle 3 to 4 times a week, and I commute on the motorcycle 1 or 2 times a week. On the motorcycle I wear full gear at all times. ;)
