Not what you'd prefer to wear, but what you have to:-).

For me: as casual as I can possibly manage. In the past that has varied anywhere from shorts, up to button up shirts and slacks, or down to pajama type pants (combined with maybe a nicer shirt during a Zoom call:-).

But I'll probably have to dress up more in my next job, maybe, and I'm not really looking forward to it.:-(

Last job I wore a race kit. Rode my clothes in and out one day a week and had permanent work shoes and a spare kit just in case. I often would leave a couple of hours early for work, do something like 30-40 miles on the bike then hit the shower at work before the day started. If it was nice out I would head out early, but I really enjoy riding at night when it is in the low 60's. I'm lightning fast when it is cool and the lack of people on bike trails is really nice at night. Commuting started me down that path.

I generally wore shorts and work tees or whatever bike brand reps gave me for free. Pay was absolutely trash though. I mostly worked at a main shop but would stop in at the other two shops a few times a month so those were 60-80+ mile round trip commutes. I'd often just wear my kit on those days.

That sounds very active and fit and so healthy:-). Except for the very low pay part:-(. Hopefully you found a balance, in your current even if not the last job:-).
