I began bike commuting over a year ago. In addition to all of the new things I needed for my bike—rack, bags, etc.—I also needed to think more carefully about what I was wearing. Most of the people I saw on my morning commute were in full spandex, with reflector vests and I knew at the very least that I didn’t want to dress like that on my ride to and from work. Not that I have anything against spandex, but it always seems like a hassle to change in and out of work clothes, which creates another barrier to what would otherwise be an easy ride to and from work.
