You're describing your body, not mine. I don't need a long time to cool down. I don't have a point of no return. If I get hot and sweaty and have a cool place to sit still, I can cool down and stop sweating in 20 minutes. So generalizing in this way doesn't work. Many bodies are unlike yours.
More importantly, you didn't address my point. Given that many of us sweat even without exertion, reducing our intensity of cycling doesn't reduce sweating. Cycling gently, even at a hypothetical 1 km/h, is more exertion than zero, and zero is the point at which we start sweating. Am I making myself clear now? It is not that we don't understand you. It's that what you say is not possible, and you continue to assert that it is.
