Sweating is healthy. We all need to sweat, it\u2019s our body\u2019s way of cooling down. But if we\u2019re cycling to work, the last thing we want is to arrive as a dripping mess, leaving puddles on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not every workplace has showers. None of mine ever did, but that didn\u2019t stop me from cycling in every day. No, I\u2019m not superhuman and yes, I liked my colleagues. I didn\u2019t want them to be forced to give me a wide berth in the days before social distancing was mandatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there are ways to avoid sweating too much, or even at all. So, we\u2019ll take a look at how it\u2019s possible to have a sweat free commute. After all, \u2018clammy and disheveled\u2019 is not a good way to start the working day.<\/p>\n\n\n

Why Do I Sweat So Much When I Bike?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When cycling, you\u2019re using muscles, which generates heat. As your internal temperature increases, the body produces sweat. It\u2019s a natural cooling system to maintain a steady temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the fitter you are, the more you will sweat. People with higher fitness levels produce sweat at a lower core temperature. The body releases sweat over a longer time, which is more efficient and keeps you cooler as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
