I am looking for a dress code that works on a bike when you commute to
an investor meeting or meetings where suits normally seems to be the
uniform .

The one time I attended a formal meeting, I changed clothes in the
ladies room -- thank goodness there was a handicapped stall, and even
so, putting on pantyhose was not at all easy.

One thing to bear in mind is that a suit is a ceremonial garment
intended to convey the message "I did not come here to do manual
labor." Therefore, it isn't particularly suitable for riding a bike.
It's expensive to clean, easy to damage, and it restricts the
movements of your arms.

I once knew a fellow who pulled slacks on over his cycling shorts,
then wore the shorts as underwear until he got a chance to change --
but this fellow didn't even own a suit.

A lot depends on how far you have to ride: if it's a distance that
you can cover on a "comfort" (crank-forward) bike, and if you don't
work up a sweat, half-gaiters to protect your pants legs may be all
you need. Or, you might be able to make the trip on a road bike if
you take off the coat.

The saddle area is going to wear through fairly quick on any pants
that are worn on a bike.

If there is a fairly inconspicuous route from the bike-parking area to
a men's room, I'd suggest affixing a suit box to the bike.
