1. For the first 3-4 weeks you will get a workout, but after that your body will adapt and you'll be fine. This was my experience after not cycling in January and February (Toronto), and then re-starting in mid-March/April.
2. Sweating will not cause you to stink: if you shower at home before you leave, and your skin is fairly clean, then there will be no/little bacteria to cause smells by the time you arrive at work in the morning.
3. How much you sweat is up to you: if ridden at a leisurely pace (after the above few-week 'shape-up' period), you probably will not sweat. If you want to get in some cardio, then you will sweat more (but still not stink, if you pre-shower). If want a work out, you can also wear 'workout clothes' for your ride and change in a bathroom stall.
- bombolo 3y agoIf you are in italy in the summer you will sweat even if you are just standing still
- rob74 3y agoActually you will sweat because you are standing still - while you are moving, the airflow will cool you. But if you have to stop at a traffic light, you will immediately feel the lack of cooling.
- bombolo 3y agoDoesn't work unless the air is dry and your clothes are not cotton.
- nicbou 3y agoIt still works until about 60% humidity, even with cotton clothes.
- bombolo 3y agoYou claim that 60% humidity and cotton clothes you will not be sweaty by the end of a bicycle ride under the sun in the summer? I have lived on earth for a few years and I have very strong experimental evidence that you are incorrect.
