Default Business People who ride your bike to work

How do you not mess up the crease in your pants?
More importantly how do you ride with leather soled shoes?

In the military here, and I ride in uniform. I wear boots to ride, keep the nice chlorophram shoes under my desk.

I have dress shoes in my office and wear boots to ride.

i ride w/ my suit perfectly situated in my backpack and then hit the local gym for shower, iron a few lines outta the pants and shirt and head to work next door

there's no way i could ride to work in work clothes. i would smell soooooo bad that i'd b sent home. Texas heat + full gear = gallons of sweat

I just wear khakis and a polo shirt to work and I'm not to worried about the wrinkles. I'd rather ride my bike to work and look like shit than take the truck and look nice. No one has said anything about my wrinkles or the occasional bug stain on my shirts.

I keep dress shoes at work and just bring clothes. I usually leave early in the morning, so I never sweat on the ride into work because it's still pretty cool. I just change clothes in my office.

I have always had the plan to bring a whole weeks worth of shirts and a couple of suits and just drop them off at the office every weekend, but I've yet to do that.

Hmm, at this new office I'm starting at there is a workout room with equipment, I'll have to find out what time they open and hit the gym b4 work, shower and then to my cubicle.

By the way, Trans Union just made me an offer for full time with benefits.
Not bad for 19 and only some college. Not to mention like I told shorty, there are 90% women at this site and they are all like 26-28 and totally hot. So I have to look nice for work, not that I'm going to do anything but still.

Don't ride with your dress shoes. No grip and shifting will take the shine right off the top of your left shoe.

I ride to work in my polo and dockers with my riding boots on and my dress shoes in the tank bag (or backpack). Nothing to be done about the crease in your pants, although I am not sure how sitting while riding vs sitting while driving would make a difference in the crease-loss....

I don't ride to work often enough but when I do I put on a t-shirt and then a dress shirt. Then the rest of the riding gear goes on... back protector, bohn armor pants, boots, leather jacket, etc, etc, etc... I keep my shoes in my backpack in a bag and wrap my dress pants around a flat piece of cardboard so it doesn't get wrinkled and the tie is neatly folded and stuffed on the bottom of the backpack. I have a can of body spray at work in case I smell a bit like old leather.

+1 for wearin boots, and carryin works shoes in a backpack. As for the khaki's, so far they havent been creased bad enough to notice. Although, my shirt can get wrinkled when I wear my leather jacket....thats kinda annoying.
