1. The weather is Holland is kind of optimal in maximizing not sweating.
2. We are not going that fast. The effort we put into it is identical to a normal walk. You just go three times as fast.
The difference between walking/running. Which is why you don't need a shower and why you don't need a helmet. So you go about 15 km/h at most. The bike is heavy (giving you much more stability). You sit up straight (giving you a much better view). You stretch your legs and you are standing still with a bike between your legs. You don't fall with a bike a holland, you loose balance and choose to stand.
For all intents and purposes, its just like walking and every non-dutch person keeps coming at it as if we are doing sprints or a marathon.
