      It would take me 3 hours to get to work on a bike, and 3 hours home. I’d love to be able to do it, but Vancouver is expensive and I don’t want to waste my free time biking in 30° weather

        Where do you live, Chilliwack? Lol. I get it though heat sucks. I’m in Kelowna and bike whenever I can, but I’m not showing up to dinner or a meeting drenched. Errands or casual hangs though sure why not. It is a little less soupy humid here so even 40° isn’t awful as long as you’re moving and have a breeze.

      4am before sunset

      4am is technically “before sunset”, but I assume you meant “before sunrise”.

      I used to live in central Florida (so not even the benefit of the ocean climate) and I rode my bike everywhere and I lived in a house with no AC. I was young and high all the time, which I guess made being soaked in sweat and stinky all the time bearable. Somehow I still got play from women - apparently I was cute back then and I was hyper-fit, at least. Absolutely no fucking way I could stand that shit now.
