Shirt Shuttle open.
Very straightforward idea this from Commuter Technologies, and nice with it. Don't fancy cycling in your shirt, but need one for work? Can't afford a big stack of new ones at the office for a fresh shirt every day, like those greedy bankers undoubtedly do? Then try a Shirt Shuttle. It's a protective travel case for your shirt, so it'll stay nicely folded in your bag. It's easy to use and does the job perfectly.
The Shirt Shuttle comes in two parts: a durable, water-resistant outer shell, with a chunky yellow zip; and an inner plate, with rounded edges and a fold-down hanger. Commuter Technologies' eureka moment, so to speak, is that fabrics do not get creased if they're folded around curved edges. So, in the Shirt Shuttle, you place your shirt face down on a flat surface, insert the top lip of the inner plate under the collar, then fold your shirt over the rounded edges. Sides, then sleeves, then bottom. Next, fold the hanger down to secure it, and place it in the outer case, which opens flat, and is shaped to keep the collar protected. It also has foam pads that gently secure the shirt so it doesn't move and crease in transport.
The whole process is easy, and, though there are instructions on the box, you're unlikely to forget once you've done it. I could explain more, but a) it's simple and b) it's much easier if you watch the video.

When you get where you're going, simply unzip, and hang it up. Bada bing. And, of course, it's transport agnostic. The Shirt Shuttle cares not a jot if you're travelling by bike, train or plane. While I was testing it, it stood up to the rough and tumble of cycling, and also made it through airport security unscathed. On first appearances, it seemed slightly bulky, but it's around A4 in size, so it'll fit in most bags. It's also pretty lightweight, and well made.
There's not much more to say. It's not super-cheap, but it's from a small British company and it does its job well, so I reckon it's worth the money. It's a simple idea that solves a real problem that commuters have. If you think it's the sort of thing you'll find useful, you probably will.
Verdict
If you need to cart a shirt around with you when cycling, you'll find this jolly useful.

"Nice tidy shirt Sir, but you stink!" 
I like it - made its way on to my christmas list!
Nice, 'cept you can basically do the same thing with a glossy magazine to wrap the shirt round and a plastic bag to put it in

Until I clicked on the article, I thought I was going to find that it had little straps on the edges to clip to the frame and sit in the triangular void between the main tubes...
C'mon Shirtshuttle, you know you want to, just make sure it's feasible without sacrificing the drink bottle!
If the bicycle was invented tomorrow, it would be seen as the solution, not the problem

You might want to make sure the ink is fast on the mag first - especially the black
I have to shuttle shirts to the office. Does this thing hold more than one shirt? Thanks.
Not if the glossy mag is Procycling, well not in my bag anyway.

which glossy magazine *with rounded edges* do you use?
I bought one of these, getting a bit sick of using a carrier bag, which looks rather cheap in the office. It's rather solidly built (i.e. heavy) and takes one shirt. The major benefit over a carrier bag is that it stops compression on the collar area. I get the impression I am less crumpled at work, but no-one has commented. Basically it's a gadget, not a must have....but some people must have gadgets and I love it.
