    1. Since a lot of people don't have the option to shower I would recommend a small hygiene kit containing (for example) : microfiber towel, wet wipes, deodorant and a hair brush /comb. Also I wouldn't recommend on a longer ride than 15 minutes to commute in your working clothes. I like to at least have the option to change my underwear and very importantly, also my socks. And also I would invest in proper rain protection clothes rather than wearing a poncho which can cause you to sweat easily. And please don't forget water, snacks and first aid kit even on a shorter ride. I also would recommend to invest in a good backpack (evoc is a great personal choice), because everything off your center may throw you off balance. And I also always take extra batteries for my lights, especially if I plan to ride after the dark. Always watch out for other people and stay safe 👍

    2. I bike to work and leave all my uniforms and belt at work we do have restrooms that we can wash up because we work bike security so I really dont carry much only for washing and gear clean days all gose in a messenger style backpack bike tools and all I need buy small but useful tools and gear

    3. biking commuting is the stupid idea ever…been there done that..unless u live 10 min from.work– no.benefit at all

      -cicling: u get there sweaty or wet or cold…u are at the mercy of the weather
      -u cant carry much stuff, u maybe need store ur rain coat or changing ur cicling clothes, ur lap top might be all shaken up if u carry one
      -u ride near cars and trucks that are going 40kmh next to you..
      – some days u get there tired…. ur muscle cant rest day in day out
      – u smelling.the car.fumes at.higher.pace.cause.u.breathe harder when pedaling
      – u need.find.a good place to put and lock ur.bicycle.and.gears or get stolen…specially in.big.cities
      — if u wear suit it will get all wrinkle and if u wear cicling clother u need bring.ur suit….
      – many other down facts..no benefits at all….. only people who work in low end jobs or cant drive or no license do this….u wont see any professional job doing this cause they are smarter ….

      — get a low 50cc scooteer: u get to work fresh, store ur rain coat and eletronic under the seat, economical in gas, some countries dont require license for 50cc scooteer, u get there in 15 of the time and with that time u can work over time that will pay for gas or go to the gym or take ur gf to drink a coffee or get groceries and run some errand….if u cicling would take u forever
      —- time is money
      — park anywhere..harder and less attractive for thieves to steal…..
      -safer, u can go same speed as cars and filter when they are not moving—

      –american think riding scooteer doesnt look cool…but is the best tool to go to work ….all wet and sweating on a bicycle is not cool either

      in Europe and asia ….low cc scooteer sell like hotcakes..everyone has 1 or 2….-they use it day in day out in the.big cities…
      —80% of population cant be wrong

      — for does of u who thinking in biking to work think again…..try a low cc scooteer…

      ONCE U GO SCOOTEER , THERE IS NO GOING BACK

      — PLEASE..anyone who think otherwise, give me a feed back….with facts….not just talking from ur ass

      peace

      Not if you live in a big city (or not for long, at any rate). Detachables are easy to steal: take them with you when you arrive at your destination. Better yet, leave them at home if it's only a short trip.

      I learned this the hard way as a youngster when some arsewipe robbed my pump. Never again.

    5. I found some "bath wipes" that are nice and thick on Amazon. Made for people recovering in hospital I think. They do great for cleaning up. I put my clothes in a packing cube inside my backpack and then have another empty packing cube for my riding clothes. I change in the bathroom stall and do a quick wipe down with the wipies, deodorant, dress, brush teeth and hair and ta da!

    6. Now you mention it, I realise since having my pannier bags on my bike cars are certainly giving me more room than before. My back is no longer sweaty, and when the bags are full and heavy I enjoy having the extra weight as it makes the bike feel more planted and stable
