    when you cycle regularly, a commute doesn’t make you sweat.

      When it’s that hot, just existing makes me sweat. It’s barely 15°C in the UK and I’m down to shorts and T shirt already.

      This is not true in my experience cycling in 32°c to 34°c and 75% to 90% humidity environment. 😅 I used to commute daily to school at early dawn and i drench in sweat everyday.

      But there’s way to avoid that and people tend to commute to work in the morning and evening, where it isn’t as hot as noon.

      It depends on whether you know how to pace yourself, which I seem to never be able to learn. I can only go full blast every time, and hence I always arrive sweaty.

      Luckily, I only have 5.5 km to go to work, and with my current speeds, that doesn’t get me sweaty enough to be unable to air-dry out. Previously, when I had a longer commute of 14 km, I was luckily able to use the showers offered at work.
