Any suggestions from commuters who ride to work in suit pants and shirts (business casual)? Do you keep a set of clothes at the office to change into or do you wear something over your clothes that doesnt make you come out looking all wrinkled?

I'm thinking I might get away with jeans and my dress shirt with pants in my backpack. Keep my shoes at work and then I can change at the office; on the way home ditch the pants and dress shirt into my pack and ride home with the tshirt and jeans again. Will be interesting to see what shape my shirts are in when I get to the office after riding, though; maybe I need to keep some spare pressed shirts at the office and bring extras when I drive.
Little extra work, but probably worth the effort.

In the Navy and wear my uniform to/from work on the bike all the time. Just throw a jacket w/reflective stripe to meet our protective gear requirements and never had a problem in heat or otherwise. I feel a bit of a goof sometimes flying down the road at 70mph and my khaki pantshave crepthalfway up my leg, but I'm still on my bike and it's great for relaxing on the way home.
I can't really see wearing a jacket or otherwise over your clothes would make them wrinkled unless you have a REALLY long commute.

Aerostitch Roadcrafter works well to cover up business clothes. Looks a bit geeky, but so what. You stay pretty dry if it rains, you're well protected if you crash, and it's better than driving a car to work.

Civilian clothes...I would wear dockers or some other heavy cotton pants. Shirt/tie as required. Put your motorcycle jacket over it. Put your shoes in a book bag and wear a motorcycle jacket. I've done this before for various jobs. It works, no one cares.
