HIGHLIGHTS:
• Most urban heat research only considers surface temperature in the morning
• Air temperature is more salient for human health than surface temperature
• Bike-mounted temperature sensors measured landcover-air temperature relationships
• Trees cool most in mid-day, afternoon, and mornings, respectively
• Impervious surface warms most in evening on clear days, and during cloudy nights
