No you have not. You have provided an economic incentive for innocent people in Iraq to be murdered so as to steal their oil.
You have also helped to make cars affordable enough for people who bought cars and died in them.

Well, I admit I have never habitually cycled somewhere that warm. I do cycle a pedal bike into a town (almost five days a week almost 52 weeks a year) in which I work which sometimes has a temperature of circa 84 degrees Fahrenheit (circa 29 degrees Celsius for engineers and scientists), and I cycle uphill to work.
I used to habitually (almost five days a week during lecturing periods) cycle a pedal bike within the Arctic Circle to university at circa minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 25 degrees Celsius).
So, as it is possible to cycle in conditions ranging from circa minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit to circa plus 84 degrees Fahrenheit, I imagine that it would be possible to ride a "pedal bike uphill to work in
103dF heat".

I use deodorant.

You deprived the people who you killed of freedom and liberty.
