Any fellow Texans here? Summer is right around the corner and I am starting to feel the heat. I'm expecting that we will reach 100F (38C) temperatures very soon. Is there any way at all to deal with this? or I just have to embrace being sweaty?
You know what they're going to say.. Lycra and bibs.

>>1991477This is not accurate because we're not at norwood 9 or roided up to the point where our hearts explodeAnyway my recommendation is to leave t*xas
Atlanta here.I've gotten in the habit of taking my shirt off before the ride and then going slow whenI near the destination, just fast enough to air-cool but without any real exertion. try to cool down as much as I can that way. then when I get off the bike I carry a washcloth and sponge down until I'm dry. then put on the shirt and join the destination.I used to carry bandanas but I'd soak through those.

>>1991477former austinite here. i don't see how there's any way around it. ideally there's somewhere to shower when you arrive at your destination, if you're commuting for work. my commute wasn't super long so i would ride veery sedately on my way there. that said, i was a grad student so i never really needed to look like an adult. i always thought it would be impossible if i had to arrive to work in business casual attire looking like i didn't just crawl out of a pool. also i moved to maine a few months ago. fuck texas.
>>1991477Just make sure your workplace is all downhill from where you live so you only have to sweat on the way home.

the beauty of riding a bicycle is that you don't need to wear any protective gear since you won't be going faster than 30mph at maximum anyway>b-but helmetshelmets are for mountain biking and motorcycling

Arizonan here. Drink lots of water and suck on rock salt/electrolyte tablets.
Wet your clothes when the water evaporates you'll cool down don't do this with stuff that chaffs like denim
water bottle, baggy shorts, flip flops.Nothing else needed.
Just drive a car. No one at the office wants to smell your stankass after riding a bike in the most humid and hot state in America to work.
if i lived in Texas i would drive a car
if I lived in texas I would kill myself
>>1991921you should kill yourself as if you lived in texas
Like everyone says a change of clothes, also before I change I usually wipe down the extra sweaty areas like underarms and my back with the shirt I was wearing so you at least remove a lot of the sweat that way
