    I was just looking at the commuting and transport forum here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=2055561239

    i know quite a few of the people in here commute, i was wondering if you have to wear a suit or uniform in work how you get around this? as it seems to be the reason given by a few people in the "8km cycle to work" above.

    There were 2-3 older threads for this.

    Mainly use the wrap method instead of the folding one. Bottom line, they will get wrinkled, but by wrapping them in a roll you get them out a bit better than the usual folding.

    Not to mention perspiration & rain damage. I change when I get into work, makes a big difference. I bring shirts in once a week. Eagle Creek (they are on sale in some shops around Dublin, and in airports) make what they call "Packing Solutions" Pack-It Folder. You can fold shirts, trousers, & suit jackets (in the "Cubes") and as long as you fold them neatly they come out looking pretty presentable. Pack the stuff tight so they don't move around. I use them on business trips where I have 3-5 flights per week and they work fine.

    All this assumes you have some storage and changing space.

    Ditto. I leave a change bag in the office. If I'm stuck I have a panier or a rucksack which can take shirt folded no problem. But generally I don't carry them on the bike.

    I have ortleb (spelling?) waterproof paniers and a bike rack. Loosely fold the shirt and roll it around the pants. There's a load of space in the panier so they don't get squashed.

    Leave the suit in the office - Bring in shirts on hangers once every two weeks.

    I have my suits in work, but with shirts, I fold them in the plastic cover that you get you drycleaning back in and it keeps them relatively uncreased.

    M&S non-iron

    Fold them loosely and put them at the top of the pannier bag... although in fact, as long as you keep them away from the towel
