If you look at places like the old city centre of Dubai or older Spanish towns. they have build there towns and homes to work with the intense heat. you can use that as a cheat sheet.

@laurie7689 for people in production/construction it's generally 6:30 for more service/office jobs between 7:45 and 8:15

I would think that Switzerland would be absolute stunning to be able to ride a bike (for leisure) especially up and down the mountains just the view alone.

With the amount of German tourist visiting the Netherlands just to cycle. You would think people would like to take it back home.

they are good enough that even here in the Netherlands they are used quite common or something similar. especially near a intersection.

you could show them a clip of the Dutch sport of NK Tegenwindfietsen ( Dutch Headwind Cycling Championships) The Dutch Headwind Cycling Championships (in Dutch: NK Tegenwindfietsen, pronounced [ˈteːxə(ɱ)ʋɪntˌfitsə(n)]) are an annual Dutch cycling time trial championships that takes place during storms (wind force 7 or higher). They are not regulated by the Royal Dutch Cycling Union.[1][2] The Championships take place on the Oosterscheldekering storm barrier, which faces the North Sea, and have been held in fall or winter since 2013. Competitors must ride the 8.5 km course against the wind on upright single-speed bicycles, which are provided by the organization. The championships are announced three days before a storm is expected. Since 2014 there is also a team time trial. A total of 200 individual cyclists (300 cyclists in 2020) can participate, plus 25 teams of four cyclists. Participants start 30 seconds apart from each other and the one with the fastest time wins.[3] In 2020 both the male and female reigning champions (from 2018) successfully defended their titles.

o there are enough people here in the Netherlands that cycle larger distances to work in cycle gear. Long distance as in up to a hour one way Arrive early enough if possible shower and redress to office or other work wear. and reverse that when they go home. Or like I drive a moped to my work and back every day. (about 40 minute ride one way.) I actually miss it when I have to take the bus. (really bad weather) It can be a nice in-between the two. You are still out and about but are way less tired when you get at your destination. But it's still way less comber sum and much cheaper then a car.
