Teach me the non-sweaty ways. I love my bike, but theres no way I can arrive not sweaty. Before you say go slow, I’m not letting no bus take my god-damn glory.
Use a higher gear on 0% inclines? Once you get moving it takes very little effort to keep the bike going at a pretty good speed.
I feel like the sweaty folk are all in 1st gear because it’s easier to pedal, but they have to be constantly pumping their legs to maintain speed, so elevated heart rate causes excessive perspiration.
Also, like everyone else has already said, ebikes can help give you a break when needed and also help with the dreaded hills and steep inclines.
An Ebike is extremely helpful, especially if there are hills. Wear a breathable long sleeve SPF shirt. I like hemp and some of the stuff Colombia makes. If your route is safe enough don’t wear a helmet. Shorts and sandals are also helpful. I’ve had some success with lightweight merino clothes as well but they tend to get holey in a few years of frequent use
