Hotter than Death Valley.
This is Death Valley. A high of 93°F and no humidity to speak of.
This is Kansas City. A high of 94°F and humidity by the truckload.
A quick look at the 4:00 PM stats shows that the heat index was well into the three digits across the metro, peaking at 110 at the KC International Airport.
Several of my friends think I'm insane riding in this. Heat can be dangerous. If you pay attention to your body and you're prepared for it, it's not too big of a deal. I covered some more tips for Surviving Summer over at Bike Commuters. It's an addendum to my original Beating the Heat article.
What are you doing this summer to make riding more comfortable?
