What about sweating?

• GoToRO 10y ago
  It's summer here. Even so, in the morning it's cold. When I get back is hot but I arrive at home and take a shower. Then it depends on how you bike. Most people use a too low speed. This is like driving a car in first gear all the way to work. You will sweat. I use the highest gear comfortable. If it's too high my knees hurt. Another thing is to find a slow constant rhythm. Do no "accelerate" on a bike. You will use a lot of energy and so you will sweat.

  For my own particular case, I would have been getting soaking wet on a regular basis anyway from rain, so I showered and changed in a gym near my workplace that rented lockers. But in certain climates, and cycling cultures you can just go slowly, same as how in certain happy circumstances people can walk to work without having to change into Lycra. (Some people do commute via jogging, and that's cool too)
