'Atlanta here.
I've gotten in the habit of taking my shirt off before the ride and then going slow whenI near the destination, just fast enough to air-cool but without any real exertion. try to cool down as much as I can that way. then when I get off the bike I carry a washcloth and sponge down until I'm dry. then put on the shirt and join the destination.
I used to carry bandanas but I'd soak through those.';

former austinite here. i don't see how there's any way around it. ideally there's somewhere to shower when you arrive at your destination, if you're commuting for work. my commute wasn't super long so i would ride veery sedately on my way there. that said, i was a grad student so i never really needed to look like an adult. i always thought it would be impossible if i had to arrive to work in business casual attire looking like i didn't just crawl out of a pool. also i moved to maine a few months ago. fuck texas.';

Just make sure your workplace is all downhill from where you live so you only have to sweat on the way home.';

Spanish here.
Shower and use a mild body gel every morning. Apply odorless deodorant.
Wear natural fiber clothing only, not too tight and in light colours.
Shower in the evening if needed but without soap.
You could be sweaty, but never smelly';
