My commute is 15 miles, and riding is more than an hour each way (some hills) vs. a 25-minute drive on mostly freeway. I do get sweaty and yucky, guar-ron-teed, so wearing work clothes is not an option if I want to be comfortable and not offend. I pack a wash cloth and towel, a change of clothes and shoes, and spread out my jersey and shorts and towel in my cubicle to dry. (I also have to carry my computer and some papers, adding a couple of pounds.)

I do Bike to Work Day once a year for fun and a bit of camaraderie. But it’s quite a production and a much longer day, so not really an everyday option.

If you get membership of a gym right near your workplace see if you can hire two permanent lockers from them, the cost is worth it – One locker for clean clothes – as a man that includes suits, jackets, trousers shirts and shoes, and one locker for dirty clothes – that includes worn shirts and sweaty cycle clothing.
If you’ve got more than 5 shirts then keep them all at work and rotate through them, getting them laundered at a nearby dry cleaners. You also get the HUGE benefit of never having to iron a shirt for work ever again!
All you need to take in to work is a pair of underpants (under shorts) in your jersey pocket and the socks you are already wearing – everything else will be waiting for you next door to your work place.

I found the drinking a tall glass of ice cold water on a hot day cools the core of your body real quick, so you don’t keep sweating in your fresh clothes
