A low-sweat bike?

Rubbish analogy. My car can drive significantly above the speed limit, and can accelerate rather rapidly, yet becuase I'm the one in control I manage to drive at the speed limit and resisit the temptation to drop the hammer and fly off every set of traffic lights in a cloud of tyre smoke. Same applies to my bike riding, often head off for a long early morning group ride on my carbon road bike, then stop off home for a shower and change of clothes before riding the exact same bike into work at a greatly reduced rate to arrive at work relatively sweat free. If all you heavy bike thinkers lack the self control to avoid getting caught up in the E Grade commuter racing scene then I really hope you stick to riding bikes and never get behind the wheel of a car.

I'm not saying it's impossible to go slow on a fast bike, or a fast car for that matter, just that it might influence you...

I don't really see why this is such a controversial suggestion.

And I stick by my observation that when I ride a cycle hire bike, the damn thing is so undergeared, upright and heavy that I can't be bothered try to go faster than granny pace, and so I never break into a sweat... so if I was concerned about not sweating on a bike, one possible way to reduce this would be to use a similar bike.

In any event, I think it's madness to try to prevent sweating when riding a bike. Sweating makes you look badass and sexy. This is the look I aim for, somewhere between glistening and dripping:
