Hi all,
I've recently changed jobs to one which is much closer at 4 miles instead of 20m each way. As such, I've decided to cycle to work and have done twice so far. However, I'm struggling a bit with the luggage.
My work does "Agile Working" (hot desking) so I carry everything with me each day and can't leave anything at work.
"Everything" includes:
Chromebook and power supply
Lunchbox
Keys
Phone (soon to be two)
Lock (Kryptonite Keeper D-Lock)
Jumper and/or jacket
Nic-nacs such as house keys, vaping stuff etc.
I look like a tortoise and would likely get outpaced by one as soon as I hit a head wind.
I have fitted a rack to my Specialized Globe (2010ish) and have a small pack that fits the lock and lunchbox. But it's still too much. By the time I get to work, I'm sweating quite a bit.
There are no showers at work and so I'm cycling in my shirt and trousers.
Any ideas to A) take the load off of my back and B) be less sweaty when I arrive?
Any help appreciated! I'm enjoying the ride itself, but not the sweaty mess that I become afterwards.
