If the argument is that it's unbearable to commute by bike in scorching heat, I would argue you could still bike and ask your employer to install showers at your workplace. That's how it's done in the Netherlands, where most (modern-ish) offices have showers next to enclosed bike parking facilities.

San Francisco has the best weather you can think of for biking: never too cold, never too hot, not that much rain.

Yet the bike infrastructure is mostly bike lanes painted on the road and used as additional parking.

When companies are leasing space and skimping on office walls, major plumbing expansions are unlikely. We can't even get more toilets.
