people who think about buying 2 wheels due to gas prices go to scooters. 

i would >love< to ride my bike to work everyday, but guess what?  it doesn't work too well with a suit on.

I ride my monster to work (50 miles one way), and carry work clothes in a backpack. A suit would be difficult (impossible). In that case, I would leave clothes at work to change into.

For distances less than 20 miles though, you're right, a scooter would be the ticket. You see lots of people on scooters wearing suits in Italy.

Raux

when i commute i use either a two piece oversuit or a one piece rain suit. i wear armor over my work clothes, then the oversuits.

getting near forty mpg and a daily commute of 50 miles... save A LOT of money.


Drunken Monkey

One Piece Aerostitch. Fits easily over clothes, built in armor, good venting and is effortless to get on and off.

I use it on 99% of all my rides to work and for fun.

I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

I 80% commute on the bike.  However, I'm able to manage 40-45mpg out of my 900SS belive it or not.  I wear two-piece textile throughout the year over my nice work clothes ~

Keep an extra set of pants and two shirts in my locker at work.

I wear two-piece leather suit (pucks and all [laugh]) because SoCal traffic is the suck.

I'll also carry stuff in a backpack (shoes, pants, etc...)

Once I get to work, I can get changed and everything locked up in the locker in under 7 minutes.

I save more than double that by commuting by moto...  Plus, all the kids look forward to seeing me in my getup.   :) 
The moms make comments, the dads get jealous cuz they're stuck driving the minivan!   [laugh]

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

Now only if the government can enact the graduated license(limiting cc for a year)! It would bring down insurance rates as well as unnecessary crashes!
