Default Will it hurt my bike to leave it outside in 110 heat?

It's going to be about 110 today I like to ride my bike to work, but I was wondering if that's to hot to let my bike sit in the parking lot all day with that heat.

The sun is the issue not the heat. Cover it

I try to keep mine in the garage but when I'm riding during this time of year my bikes get some time in serious heat. Don,t fill your gas tank to the top and park it in the heat, the gas will expand and come out of tank.

And put something under your kickstand, hot pavement can sometimes give way.

Don't fill the tank completely, at a minimum cover the seat and wear some gloves. The rest is OCD territory.

It doesn't do you or your bike any good to be riding in 110 degree temperatures.

110 degrees is not riding territory in my world, but temp alone wont mess your bike up.

The inside of my garage can hit 110 during the summer and I don't spend one second worrying about my bike.
