Short summary
Data from a standard bicycle deployed on roads and paths of southwest Montana, to demonstrate capabilities of bicycle, prove reliability of sensors, and document heating of surfaces exposed to full sun or shade across snow-free and snow-covered seasons. The data cover important textural and insolation differences. These data do not support evaluations of urban heat island effects; they provide necessary baselines while allowing researchers to identify missing factors.
