How much do you sweat?

[snorri]

I usually cycle at a pace which does not cause me to sweat.
If it is necessary to rush for some reason, then easing off for the last mile or two can help minimise any sweating.

 

[MickeyBlueEyes]

Quite a lot if i'm riding on my own, a lot less when I'm with others as the pace is steadier.

TBH I don't actually sweat that much compared to other riders.
Not on the commute unless i really push it, and On a longer ride very little unless its again pushing up toward the 18mph average mark.
Not that I'm fit, just don't comparatively perspire as much.

+1,
i'm no sweaty git

I'm a lady, I glow
When we stop for a cafe break I find a table far away from decent folk so as not to offend.

I do seem to sweat a lot, enough to rust my bicycle frames because if I push hard the sweat will be dripping off me and on to the crossbar. I can see the paint damage on my favourite road bike!

Even on gentler rides, I may not feel if I am sweating very much but if I stop at a shop or cafe, once I go insiode, I find myself dripping sweat while standing at the counter which is very embarrassing.

A lot. My shirt is always damp when I get to work.

I think the rest of us just blame it on the salt on the roads in winter...

I glow (ladies don't sweat) quite a bit! my ride to work is only five miles, but the last stretch is uphill - I've alwats got a dab on when I get there!

Men perspire, ladies glow and only horses sweat. However when they are on a bike a horses sweat is more from fear than exertion.

What's 'always got a dab on'?

deoderant at a guess? one of those roll-on types perhaps - foreign language to me as well but I did have the benefit (?) of a private education at a girls school and I think that is what they used!

It was pretty mild this morning and I was in the mood to go relatively hard so I was on the edge of sweating too much.

Got a dab on is northern for sweating!

If you've got a bit of a dab on you're just a bit damp, if you've got a RIGHT dab on you're really sweaty!
