I am definitely a newbie to cycling. I have loads of questions. The big question I have right now though concerns the heat. I live in Florida so the heat can be murderous. I recently got offered a job that is a few miles away which I can do on my trike. However, I'm concerned about arriving to work sweating like a pig when it really starts to heat up, which will be soon here.
Right now my gear is low-tech. I did splurge on a helmet and plan to put a three speed on my one speed trike. But, what can I do about the heat besides drink plenty of water. Is it worth it to invest in some biker apparel that I would change out of when I get to the office? And what am I looking for exactly?
I would hate to arrive at the office, already soaking wet with sweat.
I ride to work every day and when it hot tripple didgets here Yes in Seattle Washington it was 105 well I just used extra deotoernat when I got to work. I bus tables in a food court at a mall. So I was in from the heat and in 5 mins on the floor bussing. Only thing I was asked was how was the ride today I said HOT. and that was it. So wear your work close or bring them with you if your concerned. Happy riding in the heat.
