I saw a girl this weekend at the Tour de Fat Parade in Austin that towed her Bob trailer everywhere. You can get a plastic tub with a lid and put your clothes in there. Couldn’t weigh more than 10 lbs! I was convinced. I want to get one! It’s so skinny that it fits through every where your pedals can fit through!

Arleigh,

good luck on your new job — you’ll iron out the kinks (pun intended…having to wear nice clothes — get it?) in short order.

That seems like a time-honored method — bringing a load of nice clothes in by car or pannier on the first day of the week and changing once you get to work. I hope and pray your new job will have decent changing/storage options for you. If not, press your bosses for such…after all, you’re reducing competition for parking spaces for all the cagers who work with you!

Happy riding!

I start the job tomorrow so I don’t know the facilities. I’ve always worked in a shop or some sort of laid back environment so it’s all a culture shock. Riding a bike to a bike shop isn’t a big deal because you are wearing jeans and your hair doesn’t need to be nice.

Once I get a better lay of the land I’ll ask for more suggestions.

Thanks

Thanks for mentioning Rochester, folks! And thanks, Fritz, for mentioning RocBike.com. Cycling and cycling advocacy is on the cusp of a renewal in Rochester, and it’s exciting to be part of it.

Arleigh—I have a long commute and have to wear scrubs. I bring scrubs in by car once a week, and ride the other 4.

13 miles is long enough where you need to wear bike-specific clothing.

There are panniers designed for folding suits — I don’t know if that’s practical for you. Is driving once or twice a week an option for you? Do you have storage where you can hang clothing?

I have a laundry service where I work. I hang pressed shirts and pants on a hook behind my office door.

Hello wonderfuls,

I recently went to a real job, and need to wear suits/nice clothing. My commute is about 13 miles, and I’ll be booking it.

What do you recommend? Leave clothes at work for the week?
