Trouble with mobile so posting in the comments – would you commute in this? I run a fixed gear, it’s 20km, and pretty flat. The morning is better than this, and I’ll be indoors in an office all day, and can hydrate properly without an issue

I have, when I lived in Texas. It suuuuuuuucked.
The weather was pretty bad too.

Yeah, if I had to. Take it slow

I’ve done -25 and this heat wave will be nothing in comparison

39 is the hottest I’ve done personally. I would figure that it’s possible provided you prep and don’t try to drop the E-bikers.
I say do it. Then tell us how it went.

Depends what it feels like

I do it all summer long in New Orleans.

Absolutely not and especially not in humidity. And I say this as someone who grew up in a place where temps were regularly above 38. 43 is too much.

With wind and on a trail, maybe, especially if it was shaded and along water. But still air and concrete or asphalt street? Or dirt road? No.

Yeah, that’s my daily afternoon commute.
It’s extra fun on the weekend when after 4 hours the last hour hits 45.

I ride with Shimano 41 group set. That’s about where I draw the line but I don’t have humidity.
