what is a good bag for taking clothes to work without wrinkling them
Hello,
I am currently beggining to ride my bike to work. I can only ride my bike to work 3 days a week right now because I have to wear neatly pressed clothes at work, so I have to bring all my clothes for work to work on monday, and then bring them home again on friday using my vehicle. Can anyone reccomend a good bag I can mount on a rear rack that will allow me to take my clothes to work on the back of my bike? thanks in advance |

Don't know about bags, but thry this:
Buy more clothes, enough so you can drive 4 days worth in on Wednesday morning and drive 4 days worth of laundry home that evening. Then you can ride Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday with a rest break on Wednesday. Cory wrote: Hello, I am currently beggining to ride my bike to work.

I work at a sales agency and must look businesslike too. I generally load work clothes every other day, and leave my polished black shoes at work most of the time. That means I go to work Monday with a complete set of shirt, pants, socks , underwear and maybe a wool vest in my pannier. My clothes aren't "crisp" but they are businesslike, and pass muster with management. Wednesday I bring a fresh set and again om Friday. I take laundry home on days when I have my panniers on the bike. That means at least 2 days a week I can ride with only a lunch bag to deal with. Must confess, I am tired of commuting with weights on my bike. I want to fly weightless and fast! Life is too short to ride carrying gear! Best regards, Bernie |

Use what works for you. I see panniers, b ackpacks, etc. I like my Axiom panniers, made of good tough synthetic, c/w rain covers. Cost around $100 CAD. Get comfy and good quality rain gear so you can enjoy the winter commutes. (I assume you live sensibly on the wet coast where extreme cold is not to be considered) :-) Best regards, Bernie |

I leave all of my 'work' clothes at work in a locker, shoes and all. We
have a dry-cleaning service come by everyday to pick and drop off on the same day with dry-cleaning my clothes it still costs me less then a bus ticket and I havent ironed a shirt in about 18 months I only carry my underwear with me on the bike and use panniers if I want to take my laptop home otherwise if I'm feeling spritely I can take the roadie and leave the commuter at home.

Can anyone reccomend a good bag I can mount on a rear rack that will allow me to take my clothes to work on the back of my bike? thanks in advance I just bring a fresh shirt and underwear every day. New pair of pants and a clean towel on mondays. Leave my shoes at work. To keep pants and shirts fairly fresh I roll them up.I carry everything in a Camelbak M.U.L.E. ( 5 liters) When I need to bring more stuff like Gym clothes and tennis shoes I use my Camelbak TransAlp ( 27 liters )and plenty of small bags to stuff wet training clothes in. The main reason I use my Camelbaks even for commuting, 12 km each way, is because they are made for cycling and I don't really feel them on my back. I usually don't bother carrying water in them when commuting this distance. Sometimes on warm days I'll bring a bottle. -- Perre You have to be smarter than a robot to reply. |

there are some specialed suit case panniers, but I find a lap-top
bag on top of the rack works well If you're interested, Arkel makes a laptop pannier in their Urban Series called the Briefcase where the attachment system can be hidden by a large velcro flap when not on the bike. I love mine, but it ain't cheap. There's not much room for clothes, though, if you're actually taking a computer with you. I have a locker at the office and I usually only carry a new shirt and socks, etc. daily, and make a "clothes run" with a fresh towel and the pants and jackets once a week. I use regular panniers for that. You cand find the Briefcase at http://bicyclebags.com. |
