Bikes are remarkable efficient. If your commute is under 10 miles, and you live in a relatively flat place you can get to work on a bike about ten minutes slower than driving, and you’ve used no gas, taken up less space on the road, and can park right by your door, for free.

Well there is that issue of coming into the office drenched in sweat if the temperature is 90+ degrees with 100% humidity.

That IS an issue. Also, if there’s not decent bike lanes and enough other cyclists around it is more dangerous. Still, in some places it can help with traffic flow if you can get people onto less bulky forms on transit than “1 guy in a Suburban”.

My bike's snow tires get bogged down in the slush. And then when I arrive for a business meeting with wet clothes, it's embarrassing.

If you live in that climate (I'm from south Louisiana which WAS that virtually year-round), the only way NOT to arrive in that state is to ride in "something" air conditioned.

One possible exception is an electric bike that can "throttle" so you can ride without pedaling..then the moving air gives you "natural" air conditioning and keeps you more or less dry.

An increasing number of enlightened employers in the UK are now providing showers and locker rooms for staff.
