TX is really only hot in.... mid-late summer. Even then, everyone just uses A/C and alters their patterns for that time. Just like up north, where it can be quite cold in the mid-winter, and people alter their patterns for 60 days.

I just checked and Austin is over 90F for a full third of the year. Hard pass.

I can put on warm clothes, and enjoy the outdoors in the cold. What is the equivalent in the heat? I have lived in both, and if you have a secret I would love to learn it.

People still mountain bike in Vegas, Arizona, TX etc during the summer - you might just go at night (for a night ride).
I personally just drank a lot of water for lunch rides (I'd take a gallon for a ride) and electrolytes. Favorite time to ride, trails were empty.

Sounds like a good time, kinda. But, if you are a young tech working family, I am not sure if this would make for a great family outing.
You are basically agreeing that you are stuck indoors for many months of the year, during day time.
Also, this last year, which was many people's introduction to the heat, it was much worse than just a couple months.
