I'm fortunate and don't have to wear one, so just leave shoes at the office and bring pant's/shirts in my backpack. Riding gear...that totally depends on weather. I am only a few blocks from MEC, so I tend to buy what I think I need, and as the weather changes, add on to my supply. Hands cold? Buy warmer gloves. Shorts not cutting it? But some leg warmers. Best to start small and add on what you need as you go, rather than buying one of everything!
If you go the backpack route, I highly recommenced the Deuter ones that keep the bag off your back for airflow. Really reduces sweating. MEC carries them.
Good on you for giving it a go! |
Nice! Thanks for the commenting on our bag Fuzz! I actually own Two Wheel Gear and designed the Classic 2.0 Garment Pannier in Calgary commuting back and forth on the Bow River Pathway. Our bag just hit MEC this Spring and believe it or not, after building the bag in my Montgomery basement for years, we actually now make our gear in the same factory alongside Deuter in Vietnam. I was there working with them in February. I just loved coming across this thread and had to comment! Some great bike commuting discussion in general on here!
Any questions on our bag please feel free to shoot me a note at
