I ride routinely without sweating. Just about the whole of The Netherlands does so, half of them every day. A huge chunk of Danes, Germans, Swedes, Swiss, Finns, Italians, and Spanish do so. There might even be a Brit or two. I rode around Birmingham AL on Zyp bikes last week in 90f weather (low humidity) without sweating

There's a difference in getting a hard workout and riding somewhere for transportation. Most of us sweat quite a bit when riding for a workout. That need not be the case for transportation though—unless you choose to make your transportation also a workout. We don't usually make driving to work a workout nor do we often make walking to lunch a workout so there is no requirement to make riding to work a workout. If someone wants to make it a workout then that's fine but it is not a requirement.
