I have such a short commute to work that riding my bike would be a
piece of cake. No traffic to speak of...and not a long distance....yet
the thought of biking to work and then having to change clothes at the
office is keeping me from attempting it. I was in NYC one summer and
saw a guy riding a bike wearing a suit with his briefcase over his
back. I thought this was due to the congestion he faced everyday in
NYC traffic. I am a suburbanite and traffic is far from a problem.
Riding would just be fun if I did not have to change when I arrived at
the office. How do you handle this if you have to wear business
clothes to work, do you bring them with you? This seems like a real
chore. I would love to have the bike at work during lunch. Since I
started riding I am finally losing the weight I gained in the past two
or three years. Plus I feel energized after I ride. That's a nice way
to start the day. Normally I drag my ass in the office yawning while
juggling a cup of coffee, my briefcase and a donut. I'd love to arrive
feeling alive and awake.

Maggie: DO IT! Bike commuting is a great way of life. You'll feel
better when you get to work and better when you get home. If your
main concern is how to keep your business clothes neat, try an Eagle
Creek folder or one of their many other packing accessories. That's
what I use. You can see them he
