Riding somewhere on a bicycle can keep you cooler than if you were just standing or walking outside, provided you're riding at a leisurely pace on a bicycle designed for road use (and not some horrific retail store contraption with useless knobby tires). At say 14 mph on a road bike, you aren't doing enough work to heat up, yet you're moving fast enough to get a good breeze that keeps you cooler than if you were standing still. When I'm just cycling through the town (rather than exercising), the only time I really feel the heat is when I'm stopped at a light.
