I'm generally ok, but the wosre thing is a sweaty back under the rucksack - it takes a while to cool off before getting into work clothes My biggest problem is the return journey home in the winter. I'm hot enough when I get into the house, but then the wife has the heating on full blast! I have to spend 10 mins sitting in the garden to cool down.

You may want to invest in a rear rack and either a rack trunk bag (cheaper but less capacity) or panniers (more expensive but greater capacity). It will also eliminate the shifting around that any backpack will do.

Does anyone have any tips about arriving to work, not stinking?

Hi!
I used Dove Body Wipes for a while and then the store stopped carrying them. Now, I use unscented baby wipes which are much cheaper and come with more to a package. Then powder to further dispell the smell and to keep me from continuously sweating. Last is deodorant and you're done. I've been biking for years and I've yet to have someone tell me I"m stinky.
