When you commute to work, do you have a short enough ride that you're able to wear your work clothes without getting too messed up, or do you have to change?
My coworkers have gotten pretty used to seeing me come in wearing a pair of muddy tights and running shoes with my work clothes in a backpack. The few times I've been in a rush and hopped on my bike wearing my work clothes, I've ended up spending the day with lovely muddy splashes up my pants and wet socks
It rains a lot where I live though so I think it's partially due to the fact that most of the year I'm biking to work through mud and rain. During the winter it's salt stains that get me.
I work in fashion retail so I have to look relatively polished, when I used to have a warehouse job I could wear what I came to work in and it didn't matter if I was a little rough.
It's such a minor issue but it's one of my main annoyances with commuting to work, I love being able to ride but I hate that I always arrive disheveled. Am I the only one, or does this bother anyone else?
