Ready for Work

Bikers going to work

Appearing presentable at work after a ride is a concern for many considering bicycle commuting. Here are some ideas:

  • If your trip is short or you can ride at a relaxed pace, you may be able to ride in your work clothes (an ankle strap will keep your pant leg out of the chain).
  • Store your bicycle in a rack on the bus or train on the way to work then pedal home.
  • If you need to change clothing, you can either leave clothes at work or carry them with you.
  • Your employer may have shower and locker facilities available or you may be able to find facilities nearby your workplace (in the same building, for instance).
  • Your employer may have a room where you can privately change into work clothes and clean up.
  • Changing in the restroom and freshening up is always an option. You may want to bring or store toiletries and a towel (“pack” towels are super absorbent, small and light). Some bicyclists use baby wipes to freshen up.
