Good point! I've noticed that when I stop at a traffic light, or at my destination, my sweat glands suddenly start
pouring out the sweat. I thought it was just that while riding, the sweat evaporated, and that stopping prevented the evaporation. But I read somewhere that it has more to do with blood flow and excess body heat, which can be normalized by cooling down on the bike, taking it easy for the last few of minutes of your ride and catching a breeze. Good one, thank you, Michael!
