The absolute best way to reduce sweat? Use an Ebike. Some elitist say "it's cheating" like it's a competition. No it's not. My bike is a vehicle I use for commuting. it's a tool, and it gained a lot more usefulness with a motor on it. I love it, and can recommend to anyone who wants to commute on bike. It will GREATLY reduce sweating when you need it.
Also, less rolling resistance helps a lot.

Pacing is probably my biggest problem. I am an all around athletic person and can’t stand going slow. On the way home I don’t care how sweaty I get. (~120-160km per week)

Another trick is to buy a sports t-shirt, or slightly better a racebike t-shirt. HOLD ON, no you still don't have to race, you can wear it on any bike you like, but both these t-shirts are much more breathable, meaning, sweat on your body will get away much quicker. The race bike-t-shirts(jerseys) are a lot more aerodynamic too, because they fit so well around your body. So you need less energy, so you swet less (or you go faster).
Drawback: they are a bit expensive.

i was trying to pick a new tires for myself and found out an interesting tire: continental contact urban, its super lightweight and is quite cheap on amazon, i think it was originally created for small brompton bikes, but there are 622 variants. didnt see any reviews on youtube yet. see if its interesting for you.

For hydration I find eating fresh fruit better eg apples as they are slow water, they also free during the Autumn from roadside trees....

I just go sleeveless, ride a bit slower and use shady routes as much as possible. When the armpits have full air access that sweat is air conditioning. I do wear cotton due to sensitive skin issues. As long as it's not clingy it and it's sleeveless it works for me.

I usually exert a lot of effort and races against the clock, but I usually don't sweat all that much. However if I was carrying a heavy bag I would sweat substantially more, or long-rides lasting more than an hour. In those cases I wear a vest to absorb the sweat, then take it off and shove it in a bag once I get there.

I get drenched before I start work, bring a hand towel in bag and pat your self dry in a local park or up a back lane near work before entering work

I think this sweating thing is all about the genetics. If I would be able to reduce the amount of my sweat to the half of the current level, it still would be far more than the socially acceptable :) - so for me changing clothes the only way which works. Anyway I'm just wondering why do use the common cycling path and sidewalk between Batthyany square and Clark Adam Square instead of Fő utca cycle lane? For me the cyclo-sidewalk is no go zone - it way more dangerous than the cars :)

I should give it a try, i always sweating a lot and i hate it when i get into the university.
I'm okay if i get just a little sweat

Wow, making the excess sweating stop within 2 days was so much more than I expected, I went with what I talked about last week and after the first day or so I was very surprised to start feeling much more comfortable and dry! I went ahead and go'ogled the latest by Cynthia Yulesin and my self-confidence has never been higher!

Not racing is easy. Get an ebike and you will know that you would beat the other guy hands down and have nothing to prove. 😂
