It hit 97 in my upstairs bedroom earlier this summer, I don't use AC, but I do use a recirculating fan. Was bad but not unbearable, since I was getting plenty of fresh air. Plus I'm in CA, so it was dry heat.
I like to embrace the heat rather than avoid it like most people do, and I think it helps me tolerate it better when out on the bike. Hardly ever have to pee, since I'm sweating all the time.

The e-bike is making her stronger, because she's more likely to go out on the hilly terrain around our house. The assist gives her confidence that she'll be able to get up the hills that usually intimidate her.

The Petty arrived while we were out today. Looks nice. Does not have a final edge on it. Time to soak some stones and sharpen it up.

I am a very strong proponent of the e-bike for encouraging folks to ride under conditions which would prevent them without assistance. Or just to permit groups to ride together which otherwise couldn’t.

Yes, they play a definite role, but you can’t attribute everything to genes. If you’re living high-risk you can’t rely on your genes to protect you. Diet and exercise are something you can do to improve your overall health no matter how good or bad your genes might be.

I like it comfortable in either season. Right now it’s 78 inside and comfy because the dreaded humidity is low, but 78 yesterday at this time was a different story.

The shop windows were fogging up at one point yesterday.

I've ridden the last 11 days in a row and today is the first time below 80º and probably only the second time below 90º.
