17 miles each way, with 980' of climbing. No work clothes for me.

aprevo15

i got 14.5 miles one way. i can wear whatever i want to wear to work so yes i wear my work clothes on my commute. i usually work in jeans and tshirts so i'm good. on hotter days i wear shorts. i take it a bit easy in the morning so i don't sweat too much but on my way home i push it since i am going home and straight to shower.

snajper69

Hell no, I sweat like a pig no matter how short the comute is plus I am not good at pacing my self lol

Not me. And I don't work in my commute clothes. From the beginning when my commute was 14 mi rt on flat terrain I never biked in my work clothes. It wasn't anything I thought about for any length. Just got a backpack at first then swapped to a trunkbag then to panniers over the years. My commute is 40 mi rt now, so working in my riding clothes wouldn't be all that comfortable.

Always.
If I had to change clothing before and after a ride, cycling would be even more inconvenient than driving, and I would accordingly have little motivation to do it.

tjspiel

Sad Really.

After being pulled over for the 6th time in as many months for driving under the influence, Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara could no longer look the other way.

MacCruiskeen

I do, but my ride is only 3 miles each way and I work in a fairly casual office, so I can choose my clothes according to my needs. Except that I have bike shoes since I have clipless pedals, I keep my regular shoes under my desk at work.

I would have to say, at a rough guess, that two-thirds of the other riders I see in the morning are riding in normal street clothes, maybe one-third in bike clothes.

I work in T-shirts and shorts or jeans so I usually wear those while riding. Now that the warm weather is here I'll wear a wicking type t-shirt to ride and change that when I get to work. I have extra clothes and shoes for when it rains. If I start doing longer rides on the way in I'll stop at the gym to shower and change.

bobbisingh

Not to often. Only if it's cool. I have velcro ankle straps that I wrap around my pants.
If I forget them when I ride like this. I just roll up the bottom so it doesn't catch the chain

dingster1

I do. hospital scrubs. I only have a mile to go though so no sweating since I ride at night

My commute is 11.5 miles each way, mostly downhill TO work. If the morning temps are 60 or below, I can get to work with very little sweat, but I'll wear a pair of cycling shorts. Above 60, it's cycling short & jersey. Oh, and I can wear jeans & polo shirts at work, but they get too sweaty, even on cool mornings. I can't do my commute at any speed or temperature without sweating at least a little. I want to try some merino wool shirts.

Consularrider

No, I try to ride at least 13 miles each way and don't find my work clothes comfortable enough. I did ride home in my work clothes on Friday, only 4.5 miles, and still didn't find them comfortable.

My ride is only 5 miles each way but I sweat way too much to consider wearing work clothes to ride in.

Surrealdeal

Yes but then again I'm a stripper.



But seriously, No.

Booger1

Yep,33 years.Machinist blues,leave the boots at work.Road 21 miles one way for 23 years,now 4 miles each way.

I usually commute in my work clothes.
Going to work I ride about 1.5 miles to the bus stop and load my bike on the rack for the trip into town to work so getting all sweaty in not an issue. Buses don't run when I get off work so I ride about 15 miles home in my work clothes. As the weather warms up I may change into shorts though.

osephjey

I never wear different clothes on my ride to work, no matter how hot it gets. (12.5 miles one way) Working in a hippie grocery store has its perks. Also being a receiver thus no need to service customers helps.

JPprivate

Yes, most of the time, except in the summer months (July, August). I wear shorts, but we have casual dress code in the summer, so it's basically just bringing an extra t-shirt to work.

wmt3rd

I used to commute in work clothes; dark slacks, white shirt, tie. Someone confused me for a Mormon missionary and made a snarky remark. My response of FU Ahole caused major confusion. Ha!

neotheone

Yep, I commute in my Khakis 4 days a week, unless the sun is really beating down, then I'll wear swimming trunks. Don't really see the point of cycle specific clothing.

No. My commute-to-work route is 16 miles each way. Some shorter hills 13% and some long grinding climbs. Mornings can be 80F & 80% humidity. Afternoons can be 100F. Construction zones get dust mixed into sweat. Cars also tend to kick up dirt and dust. MUP along a river results in dead bugs plastered on clothes and skin. The ride is a solid workout for me. I'm not wired to ride easily even if I could physically manage the terrain without going anaerobic; and ride elapsed time is a concern. I am usually salt-crusted on arrival to work and it feels like sandpaper. No way I would want to spend 13 hours a day wearing dirty clothes.

Lalato

I tend to commute in my work clothes. I take a leisurely pace so sweat isn't really that much of an issue. On those rare days that sweat is an issue, I sometimes ride the bus for a portion of the distance.

NotTheOne

Nope. My commute is about 15 miles, so it wouldn't be very practical. I just throw a change of clothes into my panniers, take a shower and change at work. I don't mind if my clothes are a bit wrinkled; they'll usually straighten out within a couple hours.

I wear work clothes only when I have to go to another building that is a distance. Many times I throw my bike on the bus rack, then as close as the bus gets me to a building, where I need to be, I get off, tuck my pants into my socks, put my helmet and glasses on and ride to the building. But coming in in the morning I wear either winter wear or warm weather wear. I always try to remember to take my light weight winter jacket in the colder weather to put over my work shirt.
