Hi guys, been while since I was last on here. Finally purchased a new bike, 2015 Wide Glide! May be a weird question/topic but I would for a company that is business casual, I am required to wear a dress shirt/pants to work everyday even Fridays! I know, it blows...Any ways, does anyone else ride to work in business clothes or do you change once you get to the office?

Any other IT system admins on here??

 

I change once I arrive.

 

Business casual in my world means a heavily starched, pressed pair of dark denim jeans with a fitted and pressed button up tucked in with belt and tie. But I live in a state that repels ****-retentiveness.

I would throw a pair of loafers and the button-up and tie in a bag, leave a small iron/steamer at work and ride to work in the jeans and undershirt. quickly iron out any wrinkles from the trip in the bag, put it on, tie my tie, and call it a day.

 

I never change at work. I wear chaps over the dress pants until it is too hot, then ditch the chaps and just put on pant leg boot straps and hope I don't go down...
Might be some mesh style chaps for warm weather out there, never looked.
The jacket is easy, leather one when cold and mesh when hot out.

 

I wear jeans but with a semi dress shirt. I wear a light jacket to keep it clean/bug free.

 

I wear my ski pants over my dress pants. They actually aren't hot at all when on the road. I wear my leather jacket over my dress shirt. I put my dress shoes in the saddle bags so I can wear my boots when I ride. When I get to the parking garage, I take off the boots and ski pants, put them in the saddle bags, slip on my dress shoes and I'm ready for work.

 

I wear scrubs at work and change when I get there. I keep sneakers at work and extra sets of scrubs.

 

Your best bet is a road crafter type one piece suit to wear over your dress cloths. They are easy to slip in and out of and keep you warm, dry and protected on the bike.

 

I use a Joe Rocket Phoenix jacket. The liner is good for cool mornings.

 

The few times I could ride my bike to work I would use chaps and leather jacket over my business clothing (had to wear the tie too). I was a PC field tech, so I could only ride to work if I knew I would be at one site all day long.
