Transporting a two piece suit to a wedding

[Ming the Merciless]

Are you cycling to a hotel? Many hotels have an iron or a trouser press. For transport, a suit bag folded in half and over top of some stiff cardboard on top of rack should work. The cardboard can be zip tied to the rack. Then bungy on top.

I cycled to my brother-in-law's wedding a few years ago. I sent my wedding wear with my wife who drove there. She was a bridesmaid and had to be there at silly o'clock, so I went on my club run and just carried on to the venue

Put suit in suit bag, put some bubble wrap in the middle to resemble a tube, and roll the suit around it. Then, tie (loosely) to the top of rack.

This will avoid creases.

If no suit bag, use large black bin bag. I used to take a week's worth of office shirts like this when I commuted. No creases.

Formal wear? What's formal wear?

It's what people wear to weddings when the couple getting married would like their guests to dress formally on their big day and their guests respect their wishes
Perhaps you don't get invited to such events but clearly the OP has been
I'd use a different method of transportation if at all possible

Wear the jacket and shirt, and carefully roll up the trousers, and put them on when you arrive

Did you shower or did you go to the wedding stinking of sweaty ballsack?

or did you go to the wedding stinking of sweaty ballsack?

I think that's exceedingly unlikely.

Formal wear? What's formal wear?

Rapha.

I once cycled from Shrewsbury to Manchester with two panniers of camping kit, hired a full kilt outfit including shoes from Slaters which I rolled up and bungeed to the top of the rack, cycled to the Lakes for the event, then continued on to Glasgow where I dropped it off at Slaters again. Broke three spokes and had to buy a new rear wheel at Winderemere.

@Accy cyclist for suggestions? I'm sure he will have a tow along wardrobe or similar for his various ensembles!

I'd simply wear the/my stuff while cycling to the event. I mostly wear tweed which is meant for 'the outdoor life'.🧐

If I ever smell like sweaty ballsack, something has gone horribly wrong.

But , yes, I did shower in the hotel room once I arrived.

Wear it and take your time.

Oh, yeah! I once took a 2500-mile motorcycle trip looking for work. Had the suit shipped to me, and rode my motorcycle wearing it to an interview. Heard an "Alright!" from a double-taker on the way to the interview, and got the job, too. Too bad my new boss turned out to be a pathological liar, but that's a normal roll of the dice, here at least.

Thanks for the tips. To explain, I'm taking the train but want to take my bike with me as I'm staying for three nights, want to explore the area and keep fit.

The guest house is about 10 miles from the railway station and about 180 miles from where I live.

oo - I'd worry about the future relationship prospects of anyone who bothered about that.
Maybe the sort of folks who think a string quartet a vital accompaniment to a wedding.
Beware the curse of the string quartet folks - the marriage is farked.

Carefully rolling clothes up for travel in whatever bag works pretty well. Reduces the chance of creasing.
