It was a shower thought for me this morning, after having seen all these record temperatures being broken around the world.

But, if it gets too hot to cycle, then people won’t. And if they aren’t cycling, they may start driving again, which compounds climate change even further.

Does this worry anyone else?

    It’s okay, it was scary, one minute I was biking and the next I was on the ground with some people talking to me.

    I got back on my bike this summer, albeit I picked up an ebike. That little motor gives me just the right amount of confidence and a bit of an escape valve if I start to wear down.

      Were there any symptoms before that happened? Sounds like a scary thing to happen if you’re biking on a roadway :o

        Not as much symptomatic warning as you might think. I was getting worn down, stopped to catch my breath and that was it. Luckily I was on a firm trail and not the road.

            Me too, I’m a lot more cautious about humidity and temperature, along with my own capabilities, these days.
