I live on the equator and tropical region, so the heat peak around 12pm to 3pm where the sun is directly above, around 32-33°c, 70% humidity, 85-90% on a really bad day. We don't have summer, we only have monsoon which is the legit reason to not bike, because when it rain it rain hard.
School kid still ride their bike to school, and motorcycle is the most popular transport, with around the same amount of car and motorcycle on the road.
it’s hot even past sunset in the us
Urban heat trap i presume?

It happened here as well, it's not unique to US.
Also do you not shower when get home
honestly going home would be fine, long as it was under heat stroke temps more an issue going to work in an office
infrastructure is the real breaker, so many dead bikers
Yes, infra is basically the deciding factor for biking, and public transport hostility against bicycle is also one. Imagine you use your bicycle as a the last mile for both destination but the train company says you can't bring your bike.
