If you ride slow enough, or don't wear too warm clothes, you won't sweat. Here in Copenhagen 40% or so commute on bikes, including all classes of society from homeless and gypsies to lawyers and managers. 99% of them do it in their work clothes.
Kick bikes are incredibly unstable compared to bikes at their typical low operating speeds, and positively unusable at anything approaching biking speed.
- dagw 9y agoCopenhagen has the fairly unique advantage of never really getting warm or humid and being basically completely flat.
- diplocorp 9y agoCopenhagen never getting really warm?!? Last time I was there, it was like 25°!

- Grustaf 9y agoExactly, and we get at least 10 of those days every single year.
- jclardy 9y agoI can't tell if I am missing the sarcasm in this thread, but 25°C would be considered a cool day in the summer where I live. Today is cool and overcast, and the high is still 28°. Last week it was even hotter. And that is not even considering humidity. There are some days you can just open your front door and you are immediately sweating.
- kcorbitt 9y agoUnfortunately, if you live somewhere where it gets legitimately hot outside or your commute involves a substantial hill, sweating is non-optional. I work in San Francisco so the weather is good for biking, but my apartment is at the top of a big hill. I do bike to work, but on the way home I often work up a sweat and have to change. However, I did recently order an e-bike which I'm very excited about to avoid that issue!
