Daily commute is short but brutal: roughly five traffic-filled miles with temps anywhere from 99-106 riding in, 90-100 riding home.
Longer rides have to start early enough that it seems like a good idea on departure. By the time things start getting ugly I'm already committed, so it's just a question of keeping the pedals moving.
Not long ago a car did something stupid during my commute, and I realized I'm less concerned about any potential impact than I am about whether I can get up off the 160+ degree asphalt afterward.
Short answer: Yes, it's too hot to cycle. I cycle anyway.
