Careful to draw conclusions from SF it’s just about the only place in the US with decent weather year round in the US. Most the rest is baking hot or incredibly wet (or both) in the summer, and if they aren’t they likely have several months of snow in the winter. Some places even manage both.

I also said Ljubljana, a place that regularly hits -15C and +39C in the same year. This does not stop people from biking and walking everywhere year round. It is also built on a swamp so a summer day with 35C and 80% humidity is not uncommon.
Ok a lot less biking in winter, but always lots of walking.
Yeah, my town spends a month or two a year at 40c and 90% humanity. That’s a whole nother level. Like, 99 seconds just standing outside will have you covered in sweat, but the sweat can’t actually evaporate because of how humid it is.
