You can walk in the clothing and accessories you intend to be wearing at your destination most of the time. Not always the case with cycling.

What are you thinking of? I don’t think I’ve ever worn any cycling-specific clothing.

In my case I'll bike to work in my outfit for the day if the weather is temperate, but on a hot day I'll bike in shorts/t-shirt and pack some office clothes to change into. Not a deal breaker by any means, but it is an added inconvenience.

This time of year in Phoenix my husband, who's doing a masters program, bikes to the rec center and showers there. The shower is a necessity.

For some people it is. It isn't necessary for everyone. Biking at a steady pace with similar exertion to walking. Does of course mean flat terrain or an e-bicycle. 8-12 mph on a bike is similar to walking pace for a lot of people. That said, I used to bike 17 miles to work and shower/change.

People I know who bike commute to work or school where there are dress codes. They manage it but it's a hassle.
