I sweat easily and I can't seem to avoid a big wet sweaty @## mark on my shorts (swass). Not a good look if you're hoping to just arrive as is.
Ideas?

I usually change into cycling clothes for all commutes and I dont typically ride under 12 miles at a time.
Now my commute will be around 4-6 miles each way.

In trying to make the commute simpler, I tried it with regular shorts and t-shirt and I cannot seel to avoid the "Swass".


Should I just faggedaboutit and stick with a full change of clothes or invest in some lined mtb shorts? Never sit down?
Removeable liners?

I'd just stick with a change of clothes. It's always nice to have fresh clothes to change into after sweating(visibly or not).

Yes.

Or man up and be proud of the proof that verifies you fulfilling your destiny as a human being (kidding). Still, it's nice to let people know it is possible to bike to places and light two candles with one flame (exercise and transportation).

Maybe shoot for black clothes, but I'd probably bring spare clothing.

Been doing the "change of clothes" commute for several years now on a fendered/racked/paniered SS bike.
Definitely nicer to change clothes.

I think I'll try a removeable pad for kicks and a change of shirt should be the only thing needed for local trips. Got a small size mess bag to use to simplify.

This is why I like keeping all my uniforms at work.

Riding to work--I wear different clothes and change at work.

Riding to go out--I don't change. I've found that 5-6 miles in jeans, even in these ridiculous Louisiana temperatures (92 degrees at 8:30 tonight), doesn't show sweat too badly. But I do wear compression shorts to keep my skin dry and avoid feeling wet skin all night.
