I'm a bicycle commuter. It can get above 100F here and the desert sun is brutal. Before I rode an ebike, I definitely needed a shower in the summer.

- btrettel 7y agoIn Austin, TX, I rarely have found that I truly need to take a shower, even when it's over 100 F. When I was less experienced this was more of a problem but now I reduce my speed, take a shorter route if possible, and change to a wet t-shirt and shorts that are different from what I normally wear. I used to also wear a wet skull cap but I've been meaning to buy a new one. It helps that my commute is only about 5 to 10 minutes each way, but I'd keep cycling without taking a shower even if it was longer. Anyhow, perhaps not all cyclists agree about the the necessity of showers. My point was that this is an issue where one's opinions may change.
