Never mind shade, anyone who’s ever ridden a bicycle from the country into an urban area will instantly feel the rise in air temperature. It’s almost unbelievable, like you’ve stepped into a different planet.
But it’s okay because cars have air conditioning. /s 😒
I haven’t, but is it more than the diffference between fields and forests? Though forests aren’t just shade, the trees/plants also cool themselves and their surroundings.
It can be more. It can really be like hitting a wall in some cities, suddenly you’re on the shitside, the change is very sudden and very dramatic, lot more than from a field to a forest.
Yeah its way more. In a field the grass is reflecting alot of the heat, or using the energy for photosynthesis. In a city the asphalt literally works like a pizza oven. All the cement and asphalt absorb all that heat and get heated to insane temperatures, and then radiate that heat outwards all evening/night.

100% agree. Biking in nature feels so much fresher than in the city.
Cities are a hot oven.
