How do you ride to work with formal attire on a rainy day?

[ORen]

I ride to work wih my work clothes on, and on top of them, I wear a jacket with protections and a set of knee/shin guards. I don;t get any wrinkles whatsoever, so I'm not sure why you do.. ? If your stuff is ironed then dress up, put your jacket on top and your protections, and sit on the bike -> voila !

If it rains, doesn't change much, put the raincoat on top , make sure your ankles and lower part of your pants are protected from the water.

 

Now if you absolutely can't make it work wearing from the start your work clothes, then the best solution is to bring your shirt with you and to wear a tshirt (under your jacket yeah - I'm going to assume if you can be concerned by wrinkles on your shirt, then you are concerned by your safety..).

Fold the shirt as you would normally, A4 format. Then roll it on itself. Just simple rolling, and put the roll in a bag. If it's tight enough, it won't move and won't wrinkle.

 

And to add to what Vicious was saying, wear riding shoes/boots when you're on your bike. I keep at work a few "work shoes" pairs (I'm a girl so one pair can't do it for me, I need a few to go through the week), I come in with my boots, and quickly change to my work shoes. Takes 30sec in the morning and 30sec when I leave at the end of the day.

Buy a cheap iron and put at workplace. Can share with fellow colleagues also.

Hmm, i never thought of changing riding boots at work place, that's a great idea. Toe clutch changing tend to spoil my casual shoes fast.

i wear shirt riding everyday, doesnt really wrinkle at all....but just remember to roll up ur long sleeves one or two layers to protect the button/cufflink side from the black carbon, i do put a set of raincoats and slippers in case if it rains, the raincoat doesnt do much damage to ur shirt...

Yes, my work also requires me to work formal too! I do the same as her as well. Once I'm on my bike, I'm like a Power Ranger! But during work, I will be in my high-heeled shoes.

the 'extra pair of shoes in office' tip is a great one!

as for me, i apply a thicker coat of starch on the tummy area of the shirt when ironing....cos thats where creases are prone (for me) due to my ermm...fat belly. hehe!
