Now that I've been biking 20 minutes to and from work everyday and often 40-60 minutes to other places I'm fit as a fiddle and adore my time on the bike. I've even learned how to deal with rain. Sure, it's been winter, but it gets as hot and humid in Japan as it does in Florida and still many businessmen as well as students (they are not allowed to get a car license) bike to work and school. It's not uncommon to have a 50 minute commute by bike. I know they don't shower after biking either. I think the key is to take Frazz's advice: Shower before so you don't mix, and go nice and slow so you don't sweat much. I might add that the schools don't have air-conditioning either. Just another perspective to help expand the imagination for RETHINKING!</p>
