    The issue is kinda with people thinking they will always gonna be riding in the middle of the day but in reality their commute mostly happened in 8am and then back home at 5:30pm something, which kinda defeat the excuse of “it’s hot”.

    Yes, it’s hot between 11am to 4pm, but i think currently people just couldn’t take anything that isn’t a 26°c and below office or home or mall or car environment, which kinda makes outside even hotter because of all the AC and car. It’s really a vicious cycle.

      Do you live somewhere where it gets hot? Because at least here in the summer the heat peaks at like 5 pm. And won’t start cooling down until 8ish.

        I live on the equator and tropical region, so the heat peak around 12pm to 3pm where the sun is directly above, around 32-33°c, 70% humidity, 85-90% on a really bad day. We don’t have summer, we only have monsoon which is the legit reason to not bike, because when it rain it rain hard.

        School kid still ride their bike to school, and motorcycle is the most popular transport, with around the same amount of car and motorcycle on the road.

              honestly going home would be fine, long as it was under heat stroke temps more an issue going to work in an office

              infrastructure is the real breaker, so many dead bikers

                Yes, infra is basically the deciding factor for biking, and public transport hostility against bicycle is also one. Imagine you use your bicycle as a the last mile for both destination but the train company says you can’t bring your bike.

      I go for walks/runs after dark due to scheduling but I take 2 months off during the summer because 90+ degrees is too hot for serious exercise.
