This is true, but you can definitely minimize the effect: showering right before I ride makes a huge difference, and ditching the bag/wearing a synthetic wickable shirt (Under Armour's are good, IME) makes 20 miles daily in NYC bearable for me. Deodorant and changing are, of course, essential.

I have a few pairs of Chrome pants and shorts[1]; they're cycling oriented, but are passable as normal casual wear.
