Default Commuting to work

I recently changed jobs and want to commute to work on my bike because it will be more enjoyable and better on gas. The only thing is that i have to dress professionally (ie. shirt tie, dress pants and such). Anybody else in the same boat and how do you keep yourself looking spiffy.I was thinking i can get large riding pants to go over or something. I always ride with a back pack but if i transported my clothes in there they would probably get wrinkled. Let me know what you think

I commute to work on my bike when it's not raining, and I have to wear an all white uniform to work. I Normally have my jacket on so I look like a tool with my white pants, but hey it works. I would take a backpack and head in a little early to change if you are worried about getting your clothes dirty.

You could try overpants, they are designed to fit over what you are wearing. Those with a jacket and you should be set, but you may still get them wrinkled.

Can you keep some spiffy clothes in work in your office or a locker and just change into them when you arrive a few minutes earlier by bike :-)

Bring an iron with you to work. Just put the water in it when your at work then plop your clothes on the desk and start killing the wrinkles.

It's funny, Ive been seeing guys on Vespas and Vespa wanna be scooters who are in suits. Their ties flapping in the wind... kinda entertaining to see I must say. Sorry I dont have an answer for ya, I dont have to look all spoofy at work.
