Believe me, I would be biking everywhere, but there's one thing that stops me. How do you guys deal with sweat while biking?

Don't do anything? You're exercising. Otherwise bring a change of clothes or deal with it.

If I have to be somewhere and not be sweaty I keep my heart rate low enough and plan to ride slower. Super sweat only happens when I start hanging out in the 160+ range and that's not required for most rides.

Getting a lighter bike helps. Wearing a proper gay superhero outfit helps. A well ventilated helmet helps. Not being fat helps.

ride faster so the wind dries it off
on a more serious note, a cycling cap helps with this. (yes, there's actually reasons to wear them)

This.
If someone over reacts to me being sweaty when I'm biking around, they're retarded, it's normal. The problem is this stagnant video game sweat, that's what's not normal, and that's what smells.

I don't want to be excercising. I just want to get to places.

But still; I don't do anything. If something has a problem with me being a bit swetty they're just fat retards. Showering in the morning, wearing merino wool when it's not super hot and having god tier vegan diet ensures that my precious bodily fluids do not stench.

But sometimes I just drive a car or take a cab. No need to go everywhere with bike.

OP You could also try e-bikes.

Meme name I know, but DudeWipes or similar dry shower products work wonders for this problem if you're trying to commute somewhere and can't shower at the destination. I use them to wipe off my pits, crotch, other sweaty areas, put fresh deodorant on, and change my clothes, and I'm good to go.

i removed all cotton from my wardrobe. i can sweat a normal/heavy normal amount while riding to my destination and be completely dry again in 15 minutes. all cotton needs to go. merino wool or synthetics only. if you have some money, look at rapha and chrome brands. if you don't, look at costco's men's section.

accept that it's inevitable to sweat when the temps are above 20°C and UV index is above 8 (numbers I just wrote are estimates)
Potassium alum on your armpits to prevent smelling
just wash your face with water once you're done riding
and of course don't pedal hard

Shower before you leave and have a change of clothes for when you arrive at work. Alternatively go chad mode and just walk in dripping in sweat with mud all over your shins.

Playing tennis is extremely ineffiecient. Riding a bike is about 5 times more efficient than walking. This means for the same effort as walking you basically get to go 5 times faster. Do you break a sweat when walking?

I am white too, but I only have a moderate understanding of how brown and black people's thermostats work from what they have told me. Do you ever wonder why Indians start wearing winter jackets when the temps drop into the 70s? Why blacks can wear jeans in the middle of the summer and not develop horrible swamp ass? It's genetics. The white man was not made for the American summer in most of the country, and that combined with archaic work dress codes for non-manual laborers is why we'll never see commuting by bike ever take hold in this country to a significant extent.

Wearing a cycling cap under the helmet greatly improves sweat distribution. Before I've started using one the cushioning of my helmet filled up with sweat and if I've touched my helmet the cushioning was compressed and it leaked out. Additionally it didn't prevented the sweat from running down my forehead into my eyes. The problems are all gone now since I'm using a cycling cap as it takes up the sweat and helps evaporate it.

Just ride at a speed that doesn't cause you to sweat, it shouldn't be any more exerting than walking. And if you can't walk without being drenched in sweat, then stop be so fat.

this anon nailed it. offices can relax the dress code without killing the professional vibe if they really wanted. you don't need to look like you fell into the bargain bin at rei to have acceptable, office casual clothes that perform correctly for riding a bike.
