I tried 13 different ways of dressing to stay cool on a hot summer bike commute. Here's the best

Hot, dry, smoky. That's been my summer, and that's what summer has been like in a lot of places. And I've found it difficult to bike commute through this summer because of the heat -- finding the right clothing so I don't arrive at my destination a hot, sweaty mess has been tough!

So I decided to do the legwork to figure out the best way of dressing in the summer for your transportation bicycling needs. This isn't necessarily about cycling clothing. Rather it's about dressing for the destination, not the journey.

So I gathered 13 different styles of dressing -- different styles, cuts and materials -- to find the best option, using an office workplace as a guide. And you may be as surprised as I was by the results.

Here's what I tested:

0:00 Introduction
2:00 Cotton T-shirt
3:27: Activewear
4:50: Cycling jersey
6:15: Hawaiian shirt
8:00 Linen short-sleeved
9:33 Golf shirt
10:48 Terry-cloth polo
11:53 Cotton short-sleeved button-up
12:57 Seersucker short-sleeve button-up
14:32 Cowboy
16:22 Flyfishing shirt (thanks for the inspiration @Path Less Pedaled!)
18:11 Cotton dress shirt
19:25 Shirt and tie
21:08 The winner!

Thanks to Duer for the great No Sweat Pants. They are great for riding a bike because they are well-made, look good and are stretchy! https://bit.ly/3eH1Io5
