First real cycle commute in 6 Months

[SWSteve]

So first cycle commute after around 6 months, and I remembered a couple of things

• The hills are ALL on the way home (this is true, not me being a wuss)
• That tail-wind I had on the way to work was only going to be a headwind on the way home
• I have no idea how to transport shirts without them getting creased

Please help with the last one, having creased clothes isn't something I want

Thanks in advance

I fold my shirt, (others say roll them but folding works for me) then put it in a dry bag, squeeze the air out of the dry bag, close it up and sling it in my rucksack.

I have the mark1 version of the shirt shuttle, and in my commuting experience is as good as it gets for a non creased shirt.

Patrona are apparently working on the mark 3, but if you search around you might be able to pick up a mark 1 or 2. I don't know what the difference between them are.

Well done on getting back to the bike commute!

The only reason I'm cycle commuting is as I had to move back to mum's as had a renting issue.

Breakfast arrangements will be the next thing on the list of items to be resolved

I sort of half roll, half fold shirts...

Button up the shirt the whole way and lay it face down - fold in a little bit of each side + the sleeves - so the whole thing is around 10-12 inches wide. I then stick a pair of socks and rolled up undies at the base of the shirt and roll it up (fairly loosely)... they look pretty uncreased but I do tend to wear slightly patterned, cheap shirts. Plus I don't actually care if they are creased so YMMV ;-)

+1 - That also works well for me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
