Office is opening back up .
My role is required in at least a couple of days a week.
There's no showering or changing facility's availible because #covid
18k each way. Bikes have full guards and a brooks so could likely get away with riding in my work clothes given social distancing negating the smellovision at the other end.
As trackie bottoms won't cut it I've been looking at options
Seen resolute bay cordura water repellant denim cycling "jeans"
Anyone used them or able to offer opinion on similar options ?
Oh aye those look good and getaway from blue denim.
For rapha price compared to other options isn't ludacris. How robust are they long term ?
Would Keela Scuffers/Roadrunners work?
Surely there must be toilets/cubicles you could do a quick change in?
Are Vulpine still going?

Anywhere North of Forfar,these would work 🤣

Or London Fields and Dalston, about 15 years ago...
smellovision
A light sprinkling of poundshop athlete's foot powder: groin, lower back & armpits works a treat for me on my 13km commute. I use the spacious disabled loo to change.

This, roll trousers up tight and take in bag of choice, change in loo when there.
I bought some Brasher lightweight walking trousers for work, seemingly wind proof and water resistant, and think they'd fit your needs. They look reasonably smart to boot, but everyone tastes are different.
Endura Humvee Chinos look good, reasonably priced too
Think I'll still pick up some smarter Trews as most of my cycling is utility these days and it's nice not to turn up looking like the cyclist who just got off his bike sometimes....
How ever it turns out my question without context"are the changing rooms and showers open" was met with a no closed because covid.
How ever when I asked the head honcho today were the changing rooms and showers open in the name of sustainable and green transport options......they were reverted to open with a very low Max occupancy.
Top banana.
I’d be more concerned about the 4,000 litres of sweat produced by my arse crack. Take spare underpants, a small barrel, matches and some lighter fluid. Burn the cycling underwear and wear the fresh
I've regularly cycled 12 miles each way carrying a change of clothes, wet wipes and deodorant, and used a toilet cubicle to change.
I do tend to cruise in easier and ride home sweatier, partly due to hills and prevailing winds
Ride to work is z2 not flat out.
Not overly.worried about sweat. It's never been an issue in the past. I'd just shower at work as it saves doing it at home.
swrv do cycling jeans which are pretty robust.
Arc'teryx used to do cycling trousers, I have a pair don't know if they still have them.
rapha trousers/ jeans are quite long lasting
PedalEd do cycling trousers as well.
I have some other cycling chinos - will search them out.
I bought some cheap Tesco trousers for carpentry working when I didn't need full work trousers. They've got stretch, look surprisingly good and are great for the bike, and also Pilates if it's a bit chilly.
