And if you want to be a bike courier/pedicab/food delivery person, you might have to go to some unsavory places. In general, it is not a bike friendly city. But the heat is NOT the problem.

I agree, you're a bad*****. But maybe you should try lashing on a heavy trailer and a couple of fat tourists for your next 40-60 mile mid-summer ride and report back.
