Tokyo has been blistering hot for weeks now, with temperatures topping 35 degrees nearly every day now since at the least the start of July. For someone who despises the cold as I do, the heat is welcome, regardless of its energy draining effects. At least, that is for some of the time.
Steamy humidity throughout the night has made sleeping onerous, and I’m not helped by Mrs. Kangaeroo being extraordinarily sensitive to the cold, which rules out my preferred remedy of having a fan going beside the bed.
Fortunately, cycling helps acclimate to the heat, I have found. My experience has been that riding in all weather conditions essentially eliminates climate from being a factor in how I feel.
I’m getting back on the bike for regular daily rides now for the first time in maybe three years and I have realized once again that I don’t notice the extreme heat when riding, despite being grossly overweight, even though fatties like me tend to struggle in the summer.
It’s a bit of a different story off the bike, but the warmth, dry air and sunny skies have been enjoyable and cycling in them a liberating experience.
