Mr. Who's the Boss has tons of videos reviewing new technologies and he showed a solar umbrella with a built-in fan. Unfortunately, the website doesn't exist [anymore] and I couldn't find anything similar, just solar umbrellas and umbrellas with built-in fans.

Never the twain shall meet [again]?

I asked cyclists how they handle stopping for lights during the summer and I didn't feel satisfied with any of their answers. I certainly am not going to start riding my bike in the summer.

I thought that a travel umbrella made vastly more sense than one mounted to your handlebars. It doesn't create drag or impede your vision while you are riding and you can quickly stow it when the light changes, but I also wondered about mounting a fan to your handlebars. and now I know that I absolutely did write about this.

I guess that I didn't post finish.

Apparently I am the only person who ever thought that a bike rider needed airflow when stopped because I absolutely cannot find anything about mounting a fan to your handlebars. Of course it would be absolutely useless while you are moving, but when I searched I found fans that mount to exercise bikes (and strollers) and fan bikes--exercise bikes where you push a fan--so clearly waiting for stoplights when it is over 100° isn't enough of a problem for anyone to do anything.
