How hot can it be? (7 Viewers)

That is a good point but still, with direct sunlight beating on you at 5800 feet and 100 degrees, you're gonna be hot. Mexican roofers might withstand it a little better but most of us are gonna be looking for shade and a Dasani.

Oh I know, been to Phoenix, twice in July...when it's 108, it's 108......low humidity means nothing.

When I moved to Phoenix in 1986, I was able to drive around with no A/C the first year (most of the time). Since then, we have so many "heat islands" that the temp has gone up. 115 is no big deal (this week is 111-114) anymore. call it THTL - Too Hot To Live. heh And yeah. you go from your air conditioned home to your air conditioned car to your air conditioned job & that's how you survive. I wish NHRA would move the race back to Feb, cuz March can really heat up.

Rumor has it, it will be in February in 2027.

I have a sibling in 29 Palms, when I was young visiting -I got disoriented riding a bike in the summer heat - I ended up going up to a stranger's house & drinking from the outside tap - I never asked and I am sure they saw me, bless their hearts.

In the time it took me to steal a drink, the kick stand melted into the asphalt & the bike fell over, before I almost did.

man that's nuts! Glad you were ok though. I've seen motorcycles' kickstands "sink" in hot asphalt too, but never a bicycle.
