After cycling to and from office for a couple of years every single day, some random thoughts:
* I always took a spare t-shirt with me and put it on after arrival no matter how clean and dry I felt. Taking a shower in the morning helped anyway.
* In the autumn, heavy rains were a problem: I bought special trousers and shoes not to get wet but they increased perspiration. Taking a pair of socks with me and changing my shoes and trousers solved the problem (yes I had a separate pair of trousers in my office).
* In the winter, the problem was with ice - local authorities obviously prioritize cars and pedestrians, so I had to drive slowly and avoid dedicated bike lanes.
* Always drive slowly when getting closer to the streets. I saw so many accidents - mainly young people, in professional gear but they seemed to have no imagination. Personally I cross the street only after getting visual contact with the eyes of the driver - when I'm 100% sure they see me, I can cross the street.
