The solution is to make everyone uncomfortably hot and sweaty?
Stupid counter points deserve stupid responses.
Bringing up how the weather makes a bicycle a poor choice is not a "stupid counter point".
Yes it is lmao just bike a little slower. Blame you fitness not the bike
How fit you are doesn't determine how much you sweat. Becoming more fit can make some people even sweat more.
Being physically fit causes tasks to be less exerting which can reduce sweat.
No. You can be completely exerted without sweating or completely soaked in sweat without feeling exerted at all. I've experienced both and when I'm in better shape I will sweat more without feeling exerted, while when out of shape I can feel exerted without being sweaty. The amount of energy required to move your body is about the same whether you are fit or not. So the heat production and therefore the sweat production would be the same. Being in better shape makes the body better at producing sweat to cool you down. So more sweat and less exertion.
