a la practical solution actually.
If your scared getting your bike nicked- get a beater
wearing things on your back makes your back sweaty- put it somewhere else . for commutes carradice saddlebags are the obvious choice for stylish gents with a penchant for racing bikes.
You shouldnt be smelly if you wear clothes suited to the task, and that your not a fat fuck. This doesn't necessarily mean wearing lycra. dont be a pussy and wear a coat if it isnt raining. wear a quality merino long sleve base layer for commutes, and you can easily wear it all week before it begins to smell. a quick 5 minute change at work has to be better than the underground or driving.
